Foster + Partners' latest Apple Store opens in central Tokyo www.dezeen.com

The latest Apple Store in Tokyo is fronted by a row of two-storey protruding windows that turn the shopfront into a series of display cabinets.
Located near the Imperial Palace in the Marunouchi district of central Tokyo, the Apple Store has been deigned by Foster + Partners in collaboration with Apple's design team.
"We wanted to create a restrained presence amid the bustle of Tokyo," said Stefan Behling, head of Studio at Foster + Partners.
Foster + Partners created the two-storey windows to be a continuation of the expressed structure of the tower above and create an identifiable facade for the store.
Foster + Partners, which was established by Norman Foster in 1967, is the UK's largest architecture studio.
