New renderings of a proposed Apple Store in San Francisco feature two massive glass sliding doors over 44 feet tall and 23 feet wide, reports SocketSite.

Another set of renderings of the redesigned Post Street façade for Apple's proposed flagship store on Union Square which now features two full-height sliding glass doors, each measuring 23 feet wide and 44.5 feet tall, allowing the store to be opened to the street: Note the regular sized all-glass doors in the non-sliding bays (click to enlarge) which would act as the primary access points for the store when the full-height doors are closed.

This is not the first design iteration of the proposed retail store. Following complaints that Apple was going to destroy a historic fountain, the company modified its design to relocate the fountain. It also added an 8-foot wide glass window that will be notched into the side wall from the ground to the roof. Check out those renders here.

Take a look at the new renderings below...
