More on Apple Store Boston

Our take of what it would look like if the proposed Apple Store on Boston’s site was the glass cube from NYC.

Looks like a parking garage with a glass curtain. The cube is great, but this is just a poor compromise at this site.
They need a plan B for historical districts, grey stone (or limestone) or something. Flatiron, Portland, Boston all have having this sort of issue and European stores may have similar issues. Why not use the Regent Street as a starting point, one that could certainly be improved upon.

Where I live I can easily get to the chestnuthill, and southshore apple stores, and the derby street one too, but I think when the new store opens I will buy computers there

I think it looks cool

Where's the bite?

#7: I rather like the mix of modern and classical architecture and I think we have a nice mix of it in Boston. The area they want to put the store in isn't exactly Beacon Hill or anything. The Prudential Mall is across the way with that big glass walkway and all that's going on there. I wouldn't mind if they toned it down a bit, like the Apple store in London. That's a great store.

It would be fun to have a "flagship" Apple store here, but I'll keep buying my Macs in tax-free New Hampshire at the Rockingham Park Mall. Live free or die ;)

I agree with Thomas -- if this satisfies the BBAC, the BBAC isn't doing its job. I'm from Boston originally, go back regularly, and really appreciate its architecture... the Apple building has no style, class, or context. It's a $5 hooker leaning against a gorgeous Victorian streetlamp.

I really like the concept of the building , but it hurts my eyes to see it between these old , hitorical buildings. It feels like it doesn't belong there.
I hope that when it's actually build This isn't the case.

I really wish it was opening sooner! I go to BU and will be graduating this year..

Not till next summer at the very earliest... so you shouldn't miss a thing.
