Wow - what a transformation! The photo above was taken in November last year. The black hoarding was there for most of 2011. Until now.
The old Hirsch building, which used to house the finest fashions in Europe has been transformed into what is one of the most beautiful Apple stores on the planet. It works because of the use of daylight right in the centre of the building, although Apple apparently had to argue with all sorts of local authorities in order to make these alterations to the building. But I am glad they persisted. It is beautiful.
