After choosing the Apple store as the business selection, my consideration on future of the Apple products reacheda fact that only 6.9% in the computer user is Mac user; consequently, having the Apple product(s) make(s) them unique. But if the Apple maintains its popularity, one day 50% of computer user will be using the Apple and the products will no longer make them unique.products will no longer make them unique.

In future, we will see the Apple products more often in our lives. To respond the demands, the future Apple store will be selling “lifestyle in which the products are embedded.” The assumption led me to design a series of the showrooms that represents people’s primary lives; private and work.

Addition to the lifestyle showroom, the personalizable products will also be a key for next generation of the Apple products. As will also be a key for next generation of the Apple products. As iPhone has been popular, thousands of accessories are available to individualize the products. The Capitol Hill store will be introducing a personalizing product design service,2

Simplicity in the 1st oorDiversity in the 2nd oorWhen the customer walks in the ground oor, they can immediately know that it’s an Apple store by the logo, simple and consistent spacedesign. The Apple’s current branding has not yet introduced diverse design which they will be in near future.

The new design always needs an extra caution The new design always needs an extra caution when presenting to the public; because new design may not be recognizable by the public.Therefore, the 1st oor rather looks similar to the typical Apple store design to communicatethat this is an apple store. Once people come in,the new store design can be easily revealed tothe people who already know that they are at anthe people who already know that they are at anApple store.
