由福斯特建筑事务所设计的最新苹果店在巴黎香榭丽舍大街开业，占据了巴黎一个历史悠久的公寓的庭院。华丽的学院派建筑被“精心编织带有丰富层次感、融合历史与当代元素以及充满光线的诱人空间。”

这一设计是福斯特建筑事务所和苹果首席执行官乔纳森·埃维先生合作的结果，之前该事务所已经设计过包括米兰自由广场，芝加哥密歇根大道和伦敦摄政街苹果店。

该建筑位于香榭丽舍大街和华盛顿街的拐角处，其幸存的细节部分经过修复并与设计相结合，“在充满活力的当代室内空间中交相辉映”。游客通过一个装饰华丽的19世纪巴黎走廊进入，两侧是展示空间，然后被引导到一个新修复的“室内庭院”。

庭院装饰着巨大的成熟树木，由一个独特的万花筒太阳能屋顶光圈激活，镜面金字塔反射阳光到内部表面。屋顶的灯覆盖在外部的太阳能板上，同时从下方反射周围城市景观的碎片图像。随着白天和夜晚的交替，收到立体派启发的屋顶灯光的效果发生了变化，从每个角落提供新的体验。

修复过程中保留的原始特征包括修复的木材和连接上下层的大理石大楼梯。鉴于公寓在其整个生命周期中已经被用作很多用途，福斯特事务所的建议试图恢复建筑的原始精神，恢复了一些功能，例如楼梯与动态的如屋顶采光灯新添加物并置。新与旧之间的不断过渡设计是为了让游客欣赏该位置的历史，从当代空间捕捉历史建筑，反之亦然。

我与福斯特建筑事务所的合作已经进入第10 个年头，我很高兴我们一起完成了这样一个特殊的项目。我爱巴黎。香榭丽舍大街的规模和活力是这座城市魅力和吸引力的缩影，而苹果香榭丽舍大街店则是这种活力的延伸，它被包裹在一个历史的表皮内，精心地将新旧事物并列在一起。

Champs-Élysées is one of the most famous avenues in the world. It is a celebration of Parisian urban life and epitomizes the timeless spirit of this great city. The ornate Beaux-Art style buildings that line the famous tree-lined boulevard have been synonymous with Parisian living for centuries. Tapping into the energy and vitality of the historic promenade, Apple Champs-Élysées captures the essence of this bustling metropolis by creating a unique courintérieure(interior courtyard) within a quintessential Parisian apartment, carefully interweaving several layers of history with contemporary, light-filled and inviting spaces. The courtyard pulls the vitality of the historic promenade deep into the building, creating a unique interior experience that is full of life and energy.

Situated on the corner of Champs-Élysées and Rue Washington, the surviving original detailing of the historic building has been carefully restored and seamlessly incorporated within the design, sympathetically juxtaposed with dynamic contemporary interior spaces. The entrance is via a beautiful 19th century Parisian passage, with display spaces on either side. It leads to a newly revived courtyard with large mature trees that create an almost external and natural setting and a unique Kaléidoscopesolar roof-light,featuring mirrored pyramids that reflect dappled sunlight onto the internal façades and floor below. The Kaléidoscope- covered by photovoltaic panels above - reflects fragmented images of the surrounding building fabric when you look up from within the courtyard, referencing the Cubist tradition. The effect changes throughout the day and night and as you move through the building, offering a new experience from every corner. This inspirational space will host the Forum, where experts from various fields will entertain, inspire and teach visitors at Today at Apple events. Adjacent to the courtyard are calmer spaces,green walls and seating, creating the ideal place for visitors to pause and rest.

Internally, a beautifully restored original timber and marble escalierd’honneur(grand staircase) leads up to the floors above. Initially designed as a collection of appartement bourgeois, the building has gone through several incremental changes throughout its lifetime, and the design aims to revive the original spirit by restoring the detailing and interconnected spaces of the 19th century Parisian apartment. The later additions to the building have been completely reimagined, creating a dynamic juxtaposition of new and old. This layered transference of scale and style allows visitors to appreciate the history of the location, as they pass through the display areas in different rooms, catching framed glimpses of the historic fabric from the contemporary spaces and vice-versa. Each of the rooms has balconies that open onto the Champs-Élysées, against the backdrop of Paris and views of the Eiffel Tower.
