A Castagna limestone replaced the glass window staircases, and the overall space features stone walls, bronze and oak, and terrazzo flooring instead of steel and glass. By removing the staircase, the store was modernized with an ampler space where it would facilitate the maneuverability inside the store. As a reported by Apple, the renewal to natural materials happened in order to reflect the architecture and heritage of the building and Regent Street. The exterior of the building is made of Portland stone, Carrara marble, and Venetian Smalti Glass.

According to Rafe Bertram, “The Apple stores are having a continual evolution. There’s an overall philosophical debate about life and tech and how they interplay. Previously, the environment reflected the computer and devices. Now we all view tech as more integrated into our lives so we wanted to create an environment for people to interact with the opportunities that tech can offer, and provide areas for creativity and learning.”

Inspired by the idea of a town square, the restored place ideally resembles the looks of an amphitheatre.  The store also as interactive wall displays that showcase all products and services. Apple created a top floor where people could benefit from workshops and seminars. It will also be a space for consultations with costumers and business meetings.
