Each room stands separately with a timber ceiling and columns supporting it.  All rooms are connected by outdoor play area with grass throughout and swings placed having a fun filled environment. The use of glass for the structure helps the surrounding interact with indoor spaces thus making the environment open and lively. The area surrounding the elliptical path is used for recreational activities and dining to give the feel of travelling by train and going to a new place.

Individual pods were designed using interlocking circles forming molecular structures each having a digital screen on it thus creating individual interactive cells for understanding and use of products. 

  

 

The advantage of good height of the space was used and two levels were created.  

Level 0 is the area with basic functions like billing and product buying when one is decided of what he wants. The idea of having a wall free store to double the visual space isincorporated. The elevators and pods are placed in such a way to customize the search and make product buying a fun experience for customers.

Level 1 is the personalized area where individual pods are created for each apple product. It is the interactive area of the store where a person can have an experience of interacting with the product with digital display screen on circles, creating the pod, giving a tutorial for use.

The idea was to merge common function areas and private function areas in such a way that it isn't a hindrance to privacy. All the common functions are zoned in the lower area and private functions in the upper area with few common functions connecting them. All rooms stand on stilts maintaining their separate identity but at the same time well connected by  a common functional area. The use of glass makes the atmosphere very calm and warm doubling the visual space and creating a spacious environment.
