DAY 11
Apple University Village in Seattle has a unique connection to nature. The store is surrounded by gardens dotted with Bowhall maple trees. The roof is a carpet of sedum. Pivot doors extend an open-air terrazzo porch with teak Adirondack chairs.

Two light wells bring sunlight into the store during summer and a carpet of snow in winter. Apple chose to plant both light wells with Japanese maple trees, known as “kito” in the Japanese language. Kito translates to “calm,” “rest,” or “at peace.”
