Apple Store in Shanghai Opens this Fall, Designed by Ben Wood

This fall, Shanghai’s Apple Store will open its doors for the very first time. Up until now, we didn’t know what those doors would look like, but we are glad that some generous chap out there leaked these images. Architect Ben Wood mixes Apple‘s glass-and-steel minimalism with more traditional Chinese design. It’s a massive structure with three stories and we’re assuming lots of spiraling stairs.

More images after the jump.

  • Different point of view from that post. Interesting to say the least.

    Shanghai is one of the most modern cities in China and welcomes innovation. There is no need for traditional anything here. Look at the designs produced for the Expo .This design is terrible.
