A few weeks ago we talked about one of the projects, a priori, Apple's most ambitious related to the Apple Store. I'm talking about the new Apple Store that will open its doors in Singapore, in the Marina Bay area, a circular Apple Store that will open its doors from tomorrow Thursday.
Apple has announced the opening date of this spectacular Apple Store through a press release where it has also posted different images where we can see the spectacular view that it offers us, both inside and outside the facilities.
The Apple Marina Bay is It is shaped like a sphere and is floating above Singapore Bay, a store located in one of the most emblematic places of the city. The store is surrounded by water and offers 360-degree panoramic views of the city thanks to the glass structure of the dome (the first of its kind) made up of 114 pieces with 10 vertical posts that connect the entire structure.
All glass panels are coated with custom baffles to counteract sun angles and provide a night lighting effect. Around the dome, we find different trees that are responsible for providing shadows in the glazed areas on the sides of the store.
According to Deirdre O'Bien, Senior Vice President of Retail:
We couldn't be more excited to open the stunning Apple Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, building on our commitment to this special place that began more than 40 years ago. Our passionate and talented team is ready to welcome this community to our new store and offer the care and support that our customers around the world love.
The workforce of this new Apple Store is made up of 148 employees who collectively speak 23 languages and they will welcome the first visitors tomorrow at 10 am local time, the time it will open its doors for the first time. As in the rest of Apple Stores, sanitary security measures will also be present, so it will be necessary to use a mask, maintain social distance and allow visitors to be subjected to a temperature control.
