Following Apple's Regent Street special event, which took place just hours ago, several images of the company's first European retail store have surfaced:



Apple Store Regent Street Entry



Apple Store Regent Street Genius Bar



Macworld U.K. was amongst some of the first media representatives to preview the Regent Street location and have posted an extensive photo gallery from inside the store.

    Hey, those MacWorld UK photos show the architects. Nice for them to get some credit for a change (though they certainly won't be mentioned at any other point).

    I actually know the architect(s) who design the glass staircases for the stores. They aren't pictured however. But that's how i originally knew about the spiral staircase in the Tokyo store. Apparently Apple considered the spiral staircase for the SF store as well.

    Now I'm a bit less enthusiastic about trucking over to the Apple Store in Des Moines. It can't possibly look that gorgeous.



    You guys over the pond got a gem of a store. Lucky sods.

    I found out about the spiral stair in Tokyo from an interview I had with BCJ on the east coast. Alas, they were looking for a project manager (definitely not for me), and the opening was shelved when a couple of projects went on hold anyway. Peter Bohlin is The Man.

    I hope they have more then one Genius Bartender manning that massive thing. I wonder if they'll let me buy some tech support for that cute blonde on the end.

    the two people I know (my friend's cousin and her husband) must work for his firm. When I saw them last year they were preparing their final proposal and talking about having to go to Tokyo.

    BCJ has several medium-sized offices around the US and is very well regarded. Their stuff is published all over the place, though they seem a bit reticent to publish another monograph. Bohlin is sort of the cult of personality, but they have a lot of talent in all the offices.

    Wish I was going to this you lucky lot. Been looking forward to it for months. Unfortunately I've got to fly out to Cincinnati in about 4 hours for work and won't be back for over a week.



    Oh well.

    . But look on the bright side, the store will still be there when you get back, and there won't be loads of people crowding it because it's the opening day .

    Looks very similar to Chicago's Mag Mile store. Great stuff!

    They just did a story on this on the BBC 10 O'Clock News. There are loads of people queued up and it doesn't even open for 12 hours!
