Ahead of its grand opening on 27 May, here's what you need to know about the new Apple Orchard Road 

Apple Orchard Road 

The Forum at Apple Orchard Road 

Spanning an estimated&nbsp;30,000 square&nbsp;feet, Apple Orchard Road&nbsp;(as it is officially named) occupies&nbsp;two levels in Knightsbridge Mall. The first floor is The&nbsp;Avenue, where&nbsp;Apple&#39;s&nbsp;core products&nbsp;&ndash; the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;are displayed.&nbsp;Level two is where it gets even more&nbsp;interesting: designed to evoke&nbsp;a &quot;modern-day town square&quot;, The Forum&nbsp;is a large&nbsp;space where&nbsp;free hands-on sessions&nbsp;for iPhone photography and iPad illustration will be conducted.&nbsp;The&nbsp;sessions, collectively known as Today at Apple, will be helmed by Apple&#39;s Creative Pros.

One thing you can&#39;t miss is Apple&#39;s entrance: a stunning glass facade measuring 120 feet&nbsp;long &ndash;&nbsp;made up of 13&nbsp;glass panels (each standing 14 metres&nbsp;tall).&nbsp;A 7.62m-long canopy was also&nbsp;specially built outside to provide shelter.

Inside,&nbsp;two curved Castania stone staircases flank&nbsp;both sides of the store. Its design was&nbsp;inspired by Apple Park, the new Apple campus in Cupertino. Hello, Instagram fodder.

It features standout design elements

Its new moniker is the &#39;Genius Grove&#39;. Under the canopy of live trees, customers can lounge on comfy cube stools and&nbsp;speak to the store&#39;s tech experts (aka the Geniuses). Apple&nbsp;Orchard Road is the first in the world to have two Genius Groves under one roof.

It runs on 100%&nbsp;clean energy

The store features&nbsp;environmentally-friendly rooftop solar installations provided by Singapore-based solar energy provider Sunseap Group.
