Apple has just officially announced in a press release that its third Apple Store in Singapore, Apple Marina Bay Sands, will open on Thursday.
Apple officially announces on Thursday the opening of the world’s first Apple Store above water: completely surrounded by water, dome construction made entirely of glass.
Apple says it is the first Apple Store that sits directly on the water, a store that looks like a sphere floating on the Marina Bay and offers a new and fascinating shopping experience in one of the most iconic locations in Singapore.
Apple officially announces the world’s first opening of an Apple Store above water: Completely surrounded by water, all-glass dome structure.
Apple store on Marina Bay Sands is completely surrounded by water and offers a 360-degree view of the city and its spectacular skyline. The dome, the first completely self-supporting all-glass dome, is made of 114 pieces of glass, with only 10 narrow vertical frames for structural connection. As the third Apple Store in Singapore, the new store creates an unforgettable space for customers.
Inspired by the Roman pantheon, the “eye” at the top of the dome provides sunlight that wanders through the room. The inside of the glass is lined with specially made deflectors, each of which is uniquely shaped to counteract the image of the sun and provide night-time illumination. The interior of the dome is decorated with trees and a green garden in the style of a garden city surrounds the store.
