We are honored to receive this recognition.” “We’re thrilled with the outcome and proud of the team’s work in restoring the grandeur of the space. “To become a recognizable and active Apple retail environment, while respecting the original design, this project required dedicated focus to reinterpret and recreate the spatial qualities and the unique architectural detailing of the interior,” said Karl Backus, design principal from Bohlin Cywinski Jackson’s San Francisco office. In addition to careful restorations and modifications, many upgrades to building services were made during the renovation. The original vault room, repurposed as a private sales space, allows for a more personal customer experience. To recover the light and airy qualities of the space, partitions and mezzanines were recreated, and columns and thick bearing walls were removed. Sensitive alterations were made to the original banking hall, which now serves as the store’s main sales floor. The interior finishes, such as the marble entry, plaster coffered ceilings, and chandeliers, were reconstructed with the help of historic photographs and blueprints.
