Foster + Partners has completed Apple‘s first store in Istanbul, a compact two-level outlet located within the main plaza at the city’s Zorlu Center. The design appears as a rectangular lantern that glows above ground, while the store itself is located at the subterranean level, sharing a direct connection with the shopping mall.
