Hundreds gather for the opening of Apple Store in Madrid (photo gallery)






Good video of store opening including use of historic hospital ruins below ground 





The dark, rich color palate of the newest Apple flagship store reminds me of Burberry stores

Perfect for rehabbing the old historic structures like this one that Apple likes.

It's also a little like the color palate of Restoration Hardware's new stores.

I'm eager to see what Angela Arhendts does with the Apple retail mall stores

The Madrid Apple Store building has an unexpected atrium

The bare stacked stone columns are very interesting.

The stones are rough cut from the quarry on the interior and smooth cut and sanded on the exterior of each stone.

The raw stone is unexpected, clean and contemporary, yet ancient at the same time.

Why it took awhile: a dramatic then and now photo, oh, and there was a historic ruins beneath the building they had to preserve. 

I believe Apple also rehabbed the building they moved the Tio Pepe sign atop.

You're welcome, Madrid.

Hopefully others will follow Apple's lead.
