Apple Michigan Avenue celebrates Chicago's creative roots, bringing together the city's rich history and vibrant contemporary urban culture, by creating a platform for performance in the heart of the city.
Located at the intersection of the Chicago River and North Michigan Avenue's 'Magnificent Mile', Apple Michigan Avenue cascades down from Pioneer Court to the river's edge, creating new connections between the city and the river.
Apple Michigan Avenue sits atop a wide new public stair, created to lead down from the plaza to the river.
The gentle descent of levels creates active spaces where people can connect, create, and experience the city and river together.
It passes through the building's walls ‰ÛÒ dematerialized to pure glass, and connects to the store's buzzing center, sheltered by an impossibly thin carbon fiber roof, supported on slender stainless-steel columns.
