苹果一直是使用玻璃的先驱。商店两侧的玻璃楼梯的胎面通过精确设计的金属锭子形状的“冰球”保持在适当的位置。它们被谨慎地嵌入到玻璃胎面和桁条中，给人以浮动玻璃台阶的印象;简单易用的外观，掩盖了工程解决方案的复杂性。整个建筑都被一座巨大的钢结构桁架结构悄悄地支撑着，这座巨大的钢结构桁架结构在邻近的酒店地下室舞厅上桥梁。

Apple has been a pioneer in the use of glass. The tread of the glass staircase on both sides of the store is kept in place by a precision designed metal spindle shaped ice hockey puck.

The building is quietly supported by a huge steel truss that Bridges a ballroom in the basement of a nearby hotel.
