Images of the new Apple “mothership” have landed.
Yes, Apple’s upcoming campus is circular. It won’t actually be done until 2015, but meanwhile Cupertino is assaulting the general public with a barrage of wonderfully rendered pictures of what it will look like. It’s probably not a guarantee that everyone will be so beautifully airbrushed in real life or the sunsets will be so breathtaking, but it might not be hard to imagine the campus’ aesthetic appeal.

The building is supposed to accommodate some 12,000 people over an area of 175 acres, occupying 2.8 million square feet. Amenities include a fitness center, its own power plant, and enough facilities to accommodate Apple’s employees. There will be underground parking as well.

Apple headquarter-based employees still have approximately four years until the new building is ready. Until then, they’ll have to feast their eyes on these pictures of the new offices.
