the apple store.
The Apple Store is a renovation project, once was a residential villa in Amman, Jordan, instead of Building from scratch having an already built building and renovating it was the more sustainable option. The idea of having an Apple store in Amman is already something everybody wants and needs, especially that while most people are interested in the company products, Apple Stores look amazing and stand out from most other retail businesses on the streets. The Building was designed according to the Architectural identity of Apple, having the signature lit up Apple logo of the facade when you are entering the building. The Main concept of the store was to prevent contagious diseases from spreading in a closed space and to use architecture and interior design to reduce the risk of Covid-19
Concept
-
Grow it.
Bugs, mosquitoes, and flies, can spread diseases such as malaria and many more ,having a green wall with insect repelling plants in it would make the environment safer for customers .
-
Distance it.
By having guidelines on the floors people can have a safe distance from each other and be more organized so 2x2 meter stone tiles are installed all over the store’s floors.
-
Build it.
The building is very open and fluid, having no interior walls to seperate each area and having big openings on each elevation for high ventilation and airflow.
The design of the building was inspired by the successful Mac-book laptop by Apple, The Roof was designed to look like the laptop from top. They used Aluminium and the Apple logo used to turn on using an LED light when the laptop is used.
