What words come to mind when you think about Apple’s retail stores? Sleek, attractive, elegant, state-of-the-art, expensive? Whether you like the tech giant or not, there is no denying they know how to present themselves with style and consistency. Apple has received many architectural awards for the craftsmanship instilled into their store designs. The features unique to Apple stores include glass staircases, glass bridges, glass cubes and steel box structures.
