About 75 percent of Apple’s retail stores are installed inside shopping malls, so our most common view of the locations is stainless steel. But Apple’s architects–Bohlin, Cywinski Jackson–have created some extraordinary store designs over the past seven years when the location allows and regulations demand it. The Regent Street and Buchanan Street (UK) are particularly good examples of new stores in old surroundings, while the Fifth Avenue (NYC) store stands out among that city’s many other iconic buildings. This past week two more impressive store designs were revealed, in Geneva (Switzerland) and Honolulu (Hi.), proving that stainless steel is vastly overrated. Check these photos of the storefronts for the proof.

The George Street store is in Sydney, Australia, not the UK.
James — Oops! Thanks…that should be Buchanan Street in Glasgow. I’ve made the correction.
