Sydney Apple Store - Architect's Drawings

In October 2006 Apple submitted architectural drawings to the planning department of Sydney (Australia)
for a three-level store at 367 George Street in the central business district.

On Feb. 6, 2007 the planning department approved the plans and they were revealed to the public for the first time.

You can barely make out the glass façade that extends from the sidewalk
upward three levels. In the middle is a suspended white Apple logo.

This drawing shows the overall building plan, with the Apple store shown in white, with other parts of the building black, and surrounding buildings
in cross-hatch.

This drawing show a elevation of the store showing the three levels and what services will be available on each.

A rare look at the complicated schematic drawing of an Apple store shows the ground floor of the future Sydney store. It was prepared by Apple's long-time architect Bohlin Cywinski Jackson. Other members of the team are noted on the right column: mechanical and electrical engineers Flack + Kurtz; glass stairway engineers Eckersley O'Callaghan, Australia-based architects The Buchan Group, and lighting designers ISP Lighting Design. The glass stairway appears to run left-to-right in the store. From the drawing, it appears the store is about 85 feet wide and 60 feet deep, or about 4,800 square-feet for each of three levels.

Here is the whiz-band façade of the future Apple retail store in downtown Sydney (Australia). The dark gray areas represent suspended glass in front of the three levels of
retail space. The suspended Apple logo is 3 meters tall, or about 10 feet.
