Today, we got a glimpse of the stunning new Apple Miami Worldcenter store ahead of its opening this Friday morning.
The company has emphasized the store’s eco-friendly “biophilic” design, sustainability features, and its focus on accessibility, all infused with a rich multicultural Latin American influence.
Apple Miami Worldcenter Store
Plans for the store were first unveiled in 2023.
A recent Bloomberg report indicated that Apple plans to open more stores across the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, the Middle East, the United States, and Canada over the next four years […]. In the U.S., Apple is set to launch new locations, including Miami Worldcenter.
The store was initially slated to open in August 2024.
It was officially revealed earlier this month under the tagline “naturally inspiring,” accompanied by nature-themed decor.
Our new store in downtown Miami is opening soon. Prepare to explore an oasis at the heart of the city, where nature thrives and creativity flourishes. We look forward to seeing what blossoms within you.
Biophilic Design & Environmental Credentials
Apple has shared several images and a video highlighting the “biophilic” design—a concept that focuses on fostering close connections with nature. This architectural style incorporates natural features such as vegetation, wood, and water, alongside design elements that reflect the organic forms found in nature.
Apple Miami Worldcenter features a biophilic design that connects visitors with the lush green surroundings. Upon arrival, customers and the local community are greeted by blooming plants and flora inspired by the vibrant multicultural heritage of Miami […]
Designed from the ground up to align with Apple’s values, the store is constructed using regionally sourced mass timber and low-carbon materials, which significantly lower the carbon footprint of its building process. All Apple facilities, including the Miami Worldcenter, operate on 100 percent renewable energy and maintain carbon neutrality.
Accessibility at the Core of the Design
Furthermore, Apple emphasizes that accessibility was a cornerstone of the design process.
In line with Apple’s dedication to accessibility, the new store is built upon universal design principles and features varying table and seating heights for product exploration and assistance, along with widened pathways for wheelchair users. For customers with hearing aids, a portable hearing loop is available throughout the store. Additionally, the Today at Apple table is equipped with an assistive listening loop, enhancing the overall shopping experience.
The store introduces Miami’s first dedicated Apple Pickup area, allowing customers to order items online and collect them in-person, ideal for those who may not be home to receive deliveries of valuable products.
Grand Opening This Friday
With a team of over 150 employees, Apple is set to open the store’s doors at 10 AM this Friday, January 24.
