Images: visit inside the very secret Apple Park

An original shape of a donut, a gigantic photovoltaic installation on the roof, a design by Foster + Partners, 260,000 square meters and an estimated cost of five billion dollars: this is the pedigree of the Apple headquarters completed in 2017. With twelve thousand employees on site, the building nevertheless remains very mysterious, like the Apple which keeps its products secret until the last moment...

In recent months, however, the trend has been towards openness: we have been able to see several executives from the firm taking the floor to talk about its products and services in specialized media. EvenTim Cook, acclaimed boss of the company, recently answered questions fromBrutIn France. This time, however, it's the magazineWallpaperwho was able to set foot in the Californian complex…

Architecture

Unsurprisingly, the interior design of Apple Park impresses not only with its grandeur but also its contrasting minimalism. The first image shared byWallpaperis that of a bright corridor decorated with large windows revealing the wooded landscape which surrounds the place. A photo taken on the fourth floor.

The photograph above, for its part, recalls the care taken by Apple in its stores, the group having also chosen large wooden furniture for its meeting rooms. Always with a particularly satisfying view outwards.

Product design and prototyping

We must not forget that Apple Park is above all a place of work, although there are dozens of spaces to relax there. And precisely,Wallpaperwas also able to “infiltrate” these rooms where the design of future products that will end up in the hands of consumers takes place in the greatest discretion. Starting, obviously, with the famous iPhone which gives us here a test version never seen before. And for once, it's not a piece fromthe Giulio Zompetti collection!

Below, you can also see the machining process for the aluminum chassis of the new MacBook Pro. It finally saw the light of day last October, with for the first time a notch at the top of its screen.
