If I remember correctly there is a park included in the plans, it would be cool if it's open to the public. Also will there be a gift shop like, the current hq?
Now, you'd advocate for typical High-end building standard. Well, that also goes on forever. What does that mean??
Is it too much to give Steve Jobs a new SL 500 Mercedes every 6 months? Isn't that detrimental to shareholder value? But Apple did.
My point is, often times (and I know that I'm guilty of this too) we think that things exist for a singular purpose. And more often than not, they're not. Apple is a public company. But its purpose is not JUST to create shareholder value.

I feel bad for employees who have to walk what seems like a pretty far distance, from the parking garage to the building every day. Also a double whammy if your desk is on the opposite side of the building.

Does anyone else think the inner circle of the mothership should be a hedge maze?
What I mean by "typical" is using generally accepted practices and materials. On the other hand, using materials and techniques that have rarely or never been done before, and that provide benefits that are questionable at best, is one of the hallmarks of hubris.
If you go to a luxury home builder and pick all your items out of their catalog, you'll end up with a nice luxury home. If you demand they throw out the catalog and you'll tell them what to do in incredible minute detail and it's nothing that either of you have experience with... that's where you start to have problems.
Here's the best screencap I could find.Did that screencap come from a VHS tape?
