Looks pretty sunny to me (see Google Earth attachment). Maybe that's why
ifoAppleStore calls it "
flooded with sunlight during the day".
Another attempt to avert the issue, I see.
Yes, where "southern exposure" means the some of the sky in the compass quadrant from Southeast to Southwest is visible, not that "the horizon at compass point 180.0° is visible".
Your failed attempts at defending your erroneous assessment of 'southern exposure' at the new Apple Store are quite revealing.
See
un-warped photo below:
actual interior - upper floor (click to enlarge)
Clearly, from
inside of the store, the 45 foot marble wall prevents all, and any, exposure to the south. The slightly concaved glass ceiling,
from the vantage point of 45 feet below, will provide a singular exposure:
up.
Your inclusion, however, of the warped publicity rendering of the store, in a desperate attempt to cling to your flawed assertion,
only functions to reduce your credibility further:
Due to the setback of the tower behind the Pottery Barn, you'll be able to look out the southern window and see the sky due south from the front of the store.
This picture shows a heap of southern sky.
From your wishful, yet delusional perception, perhaps - in reality, no. The atrium, at the front of the store, is not
inside the store. From inside the store,
where products are displayed, sunlight will hardly be an issue. Furthermore, the minimal setback of the tower behind the Pottery Barn on 67th will bear little significance for clinging
to your ludicrous claims - wishing so does not make it so.
And "set behind" is the key...
Set behind is the key? Do you truly believe that having a 480 foot building set back a mere 35 feet is going to make a profound difference? Perhaps, you subliminally do realize the foolishness
of your remarks, since you feebly continue to modify your original statements:
Perhaps the geographically challenged should think before posting.
The front (Broadway) is facing east, so until solar noon it gets direct sun.
backpedalling:
Directly across the street (67th) is a 4 or 5 story building. The highrise buildings are further away.
backpedalling further:
that tower will block the sun for a time during early morning
Priceless.
Clearly I was wrong about no tall buildings to the south - the Google Earth shot doesn't make the height of the building to the south obvious (although clearly the one to the east is obviously tall). Street-view and 3D buildings make it apparent.
Yes, clearly you were. As you were wrong about "no tall buildings" to the east, as well as "southern exposure."
All this in response to a joke about matte screens....
It all stemmed from your smug and flippant remark, which all but confirmed your utter lack of sensibility:
Maybe all that glass
with a southern exposure will lead to the re-introduction of matte screens on all Apples....
(pun intended...)
