Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City.

Located at the General Motors Plaza in New York, the entrance to the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue is an iconic self-supporting glass cube. Designed by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson Architecture, this 32-foot glass structure is entirely free of structural steel. Once you enter the store from the plaza level, a glass elevator with a glass cylinder — which is wrapped by a circular staircase — takes you to the underground main level. The glass cube brings plenty of natural light underground. At night, the cube is lighted, creating an elegant glow.

The Fifth Avenue Apple Store in New York City, USA, was developed by Apple Inc. themselves. The renowned architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski Jackson was responsible for the design of the store. The distinctive glass cube entrance has become an iconic symbol of the Apple brand and is a popular tourist attraction in its own right. The store has undergone renovations and expansions over the years to create the current stunning architectural landmark on Fifth Avenue.
