BALTIMORE-If the Exelon headquarters building at Harbor Point is constructed as designed, the office tower will include a glass cube that Elkus Manfredi Architects Ltd. say was inspired by the Apple Retail Store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

The architectural firm says the two-story cube is designed to give the building a more dramatic entrance. In place of the Apple logo, the cube will include a commissioned work of public art designed to evoke Exelon's status as an energy company, according to the Baltimore Business Journal.

To heighten the drama, the cube is designed to jut out into the sidewalk slightly, and a “black granite carpet” would extend from inside the cube, across the sidewalk, ending at the curb.
