Apple envisions their new store as a community space where people can gather, learn and be entertained.
“We view our stores as a modern-day town square, where visitors come to shop, be inspired, learn or connect with others in their community,” said Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice president, Retail.
“And what better place to come together than overlooking Dubai’s epicenter, where the Dubai Fountain, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall meet. We are so honoured to have a home at one of the world’s most incredible and dynamic intersections.”
Apple Dubai mall is unique. The third store in UAE, the store's motorised 'Solar Wings' respond to changing environmental conditions. When the sun is at its hottest, they will cool the store. In the evenings, they open up to allow visitors onto the public terrace.
Inspired by the the traditional Arabic Mashrabiya, each 'Solar Wing' is locally fabricated from 340 carbon fiber reinforced polymer rods, and at 180 feet wide, the 18 panels make up one of the world’s largest kinetic art installations.
