In 2020, Apple Sanlitun opened in Beijing, China. The new retail store was the “next iteration” of the company’s first store in China with more square feet to entertain a larger number of visitors in an aesthetically appealing exterior with high glass panels and exquisite woodwork. The company has experimented with new building materials and techniques in the new Changsha store.

Apple Changsha – the first Store in the world to utilize the façade technique

The company’s emphasis on design is not limited to its electronic products, Apple Stores around the world embody the same attention to detail to construct sustainable architectural marvels. Situated in the Changsha IFS shopping mall and looking over the Huangxing Road, the Apple Changsha Store is the company’s first store in the world to utilize the new façade technique.

Visitors entering the store from outside will encounter the uniquely designed double-height façade, which features a completely new gradient frit and mirrored coating treatment that blurs the transition from top to bottom and shifts in appearance during different times of day or seasons.
