The recent works at Apple Stores in Hamburg, Germany and SoHo, New York, USA have incorporated the installation of new internal glass structures: 12m straight stairs; 10m balustrades forming the atrium perimeter of the upper storey; and 5m bridges. The design of each project elegantly balances structural glass elements with connecting metal fittings through the choice of super jumbo glass panels and inserted laminated connections. An overview of these projects is presented focusing on challenges which have arisen during design, fabrication and installation. These include the global stability and dynamic behavior of the stair and bridge; matching the limited tolerances of large glass panels with movements of existing structure; and dealing with restraints imposed by building authorities.
