Hasta La Ideas

Hooray! We can finally put a seemingly never-ending story to bed. As you might recall from several of our posts from the last couple of months, Apple was fighting with Georgetown in Washington D.C. over the design of a new retail outlet they were hoping to build there. After getting declined a full four times for not tailoring the store’s exterior to fit the neighborhood, just last week they submitted their fifth. Turns out, their persistence paid off and the neighborhood review board has just given Apple the okay to build:

The approval came after Apple made some changes to the glass storefront of its design, and made other minor adjustments such as a recessed entrance.

“The board was very complimentary of the design. They said it developed a level of subtelty and sophistication that was very appropriate, and beautifully executed,” said Thomas Luebke, secretary of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, which oversees the Georgetown board.
