位于阿布扎比著名的金融区，苹果Al Maryah岛占据着该岛海滨的最重要位置——阿布扎比证券交易所大楼下的一个大型阴影广场，与Al Maryah岛购物中心毗邻。 Located in Abu Dhabi’s prestigious financial district, Apple Al Maryah Island occupies the pride of place on the island’s waterfront – a large, shaded plaza beneath the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange building and adjacent to The Galleria Al Maryah Island Mall.

高架在步道之上，它标志着一个独特的新存在，像一颗闪烁的珍珠在瀑布般的黑色水景之上。商店也创造了购物中心和水边之间的直接联系，激活了长廊和公共广场。
Elevated above the promenade, it marks a distinctive new presence as a glistening pearl atop a cascading black water feature. The store also creates a direct connection between the mall and the water’s edge, activating the promenade and the public plaza.
苹果Al Maryah岛是苹果设计团队与Foster Partners的综合建筑和工程工作室密切合作的结果。
Apple Al Maryah Island is the result of a close collaboration between Apple's design teams and the integrated architecture and engineering studios at Foster Partners.
Foster Partners工作室的负责人Stefan Behling说:“Apple Al Maryah岛的设计完全是为了欣赏阿布扎比非凡的天际线，并为游客创造一条体验路线，当他们在平静的水和镜子的包围下行走时。它试图将海滨长廊的活力引入到商店中，模糊了内部和外部的界限，并产生一个令人振奋和鼓舞人心的苹果商店。”
Stefan Behling, Head of Studio, Foster Partners, said: “The design of Apple Al Maryah Island is all about the view of the extraordinary skyline of Abu Dhabi and creating an experiential route for visitors, as they walk through surrounded by the calming water and mirrors. It seeks to draw the vitality of the waterfront promenade through the site and into the store, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, and generating an exhilarating and inspirational Apple store.”
纯直线玻璃结构位于一个新的阶梯金字塔瀑布水景的顶部，铺有绝对黑色花岗岩。两个外部入口坡道穿过水面上升到商店，在步行街、商店和商场之间创造了新的联系。同样的花岗岩在商店内部无缝地延续，将生活从长廊带入商店。
The pure rectilinear glazed structure is situated on top of a new stepped pyramid cascading water feature, paved with Absolute Black granite stone. Two external entrance ramps cut through the water and rise to the store, creating a new link between the promenade, store and mall. The same granite continues seamlessly inside the store, drawing life from the promenade into the store.
来自购物中心的游客通过一个镜面不锈钢门户进入，被从外部玻璃墙上倾泻而下的水射流的景象和声音所包围。水滴在磨碎的玻璃表面上流动时捕捉光线并闪烁。一个 72 英尺长（22 米）的无缝拉伸镜面箔天花板为空间增添了戏剧性 - 一个不间断的平面创造了万花筒般的效果，水从墙上落下，反射无限地向天空传播。
Visitors from the mall enter through a mirrored stainless-steel portal, enveloped by the sights and sounds of the water jets that cascade down over the exterior glass walls. The water droplets catch the light and shimmer as they run over the milled glass surface. A 72-foot-long (22-metre) jointless stretched mirror foil ceiling adds drama to the space – a single uninterrupted plane that creates a kaleidoscopic effect, with the water falling down the walls, and reflections travelling infinitely up towards the sky.
光线充足的玻璃内部拥有海岸线和远处阿布扎比市的全景。在内部，商店布置在一个层次上。论坛位于东边，苹果大道位于商店的南北两端。展示桌坐落在榕树之间，为室内增添了绿色植物。
The light-filled glazed interior boasts panoramic views of the coastline and the city of Abu Dhabi beyond. Internally, the store is laid out on a single level. The Forum is located towards the east, with Apple Avenues flanking the northern and southern ends of the store. Display tables are nestled amongst the Ficus trees, adding greenery to the interior.
宽大的19英尺(5.75米)的地板到天花板高度给人一种宽敞的感觉，拉伸的金色织物天花板增强了空间的声学效果。灯光巧妙地融入街道，在夜间照亮金属天花板，透过榕树的叶子，在上面的表面投下戏剧般的斑驳阴影。
The generous 19-foot (5.75-metre) floor-to-ceiling height lends a sense of spaciousness, with the stretched gold fabric ceiling enhancing the acoustics of the space. Lighting is subtly incorporated into the avenues to illuminate the metallic ceiling at night, filtering through the leaves of the Ficus trees and casting theatrical, dappled shadows on the surface above.
这两条大道作为独立的家具，同时作为它们后面两个楼梯的垂直墙壁。他们的木镶板沿着楼梯下行到下面的会议室，在两个楼层之间创造了统一的语言。
Both avenues act as freestanding pieces of furniture, while simultaneously functioning as the vertical walls of the two staircases behind them. Their timber panelling travels down the staircases to the Boardroom below, creating a unified language across both levels.
该项目是该地区首批将地板辐射系统与置换通风相结合以帮助建筑物降温的项目之一。
The project is one of the first in the region to have radiant floor system combined with displacement ventilation to help cool the building.
