Foster + Partners has designed the lighting for Apple The Exchange TRX, featuring a layered roof that emits a warm glow at night and draws people into the development.

Apple The Exchange TRX is the first Apple Store location in Malaysia, with a design that creates new visual and spatial connections between the mall's central atrium and a rooftop park, including a lush tropical garden and a communal lawn that wraps around the store's upper level.

The store is laid out across three levels with a viewing deck at the top that directly connects with the edge of the park, bringing daylight and greenery into the store through the soaring interior.

A sculptural quartz and glass staircase – and a bespoke glazed elevator – connect the various levels, with layered landings creating multiple lines of sight through the space.

Apple The Exchange TRX is designed with a refined palette of high-quality materials, including natural stone walls, polished stainless-steel columns, light Terrazzo floors and a timber ceiling.

This project has been shortlisted in the architectural lighting design category of Dezeen Awards 2025.
