Foster + Partners-Apple Bagdat Caddesi

 

애플스토어는 바그다드 도시 중심부에서 크리에이티브한 오아시스를 만들고자 하였다. 건물은 단층 볼륨으로 구성되어있다. 유리로된 정면은 매장 뒤쪽의 무성한 나무가 가득한 정원을 엿볼수 있게 하여 사람들을 매장으로 끌어들인다. 나무가 우거진 커다란 포켓 공원은 사람들을 매장으로 끌어들여 방문객들이 나무 그늘 아래에서 휴식을 취할 수 있는 자연적인 안식처를 제공한다. 내부는 자연환기를 하기 위해 열리는 두개의 큰 채광창을 만들었다. 재료는 화강암, 목재, 자연석으로 조정된 조명으로 보완되어 공간에 따뜻함을 더했다.

 

Located on the bustling Bagdat Caddesi in Istanbul, Apple Bagdat Caddesi seeks to create a green oasis of creativity in the heart of the city. One of the most iconic and lively shopping destinations in Istanbul, the tree-lined avenue attracts visitors from all over the world and is likened to Paris' Champs-Élysées. The standalone building is set back from the busy shopping street, creating a generous tree-lined square - a public plaza for the celebration of urban life.

Apple Bagdat Caddesi is the result of a close collaboration between Apple's design teams and the integrated architecture and engineering studios at Foster + Partners. The design responds to the site and its unique environmental conditions to create a simple and harmonious form. The structure spans the entire width of the store, creating an impressive, column-free interior volume, which emphasizes the visual connection throughout the length of the building.

 

Stefan Behling, Head of Studio, Foster + Partners, said: "I love the energy and vibrancy of Istanbul. Apple Bagdat Caddesi is a calm, green oasis that creates an island of repose from which to enjoy the bustling energy of the city. With publicly accessible green spaces on three sides, the building provides a space for the local community and is set to be a new destination for everyone. With warm natural materials throughout, it provides a calming and elegant space for visitors to enjoy.

 

The building appears as a simple single story volume at the main street level with a floating roof above. Using the same stonework as the pavement, the carefully designed steps and slopes along the forecourt create a gentle transition towards the store entrance. The glazed facades offer a glimpse through to the lush tree-filled garden at the back, drawing people into the store. Visitors enter the building at the upper ground level, which leads into a spacious double-height volume. The large tree-filled pocket park draws people through the store, providing a natural sanctuary for visitors to relax under the shaded canopy of trees. The garden is enveloped by a tall green hedge, immersing visitors in its natural environment and adding welcome greenery to the site. A rainscreen façade made from beautifully crafted local travertine stone provides a pleasing contrast to the lush landscaping.

 

The substantial 15.7-foot (4.8-meter) slope across the site allows the store to be spread over two levels, with the lower floor tucked below the main level. Internally, the display area is on the upper level, flanked by Avenues, connects to the Forum below via a grand flight of stairs which descend to the garden level. An almost invisible 32-foot (9.7. meter) glass curtain blurs the boundaries between inside and outside. The interior is bathed in natural light through two large skylights that open to allow natural ventilation. The Aksaray Yaylak Granite floors, timber ceiling and travertine wall cladding add warmth to the space, complemented by naturally tuned lighting. The store boasts of a green roof which insulates the building and utilizes a rainwater harvesting system and grey water recycling for irrigation.
