It has been five years since Steve Jobs passed away, yet he was still involved in unfinished projects before his death. Now, one of them is set to be unveiled. Apple’s brand-new headquarters in California has recently been completed. This final masterpiece by Jobs — the Apple Park office campus — is truly built without compromise. Spanning 175 acres, about the size of 85 football fields, its main building features a futuristic, spaceship-like curved design, utilizing the world’s largest curved glass panels and renewable energy systems such as solar power. Yet among its many astonishing designs and patents, Apple even applied for a patent on its own pizza box — a truly unique touch.
Steve Jobs’ Masterpiece — The Apple Park Office Campus
As the new Apple "spaceship" headquarters was completed, numerous international media were invited inside to explore every detail and admire the overall architectural structure. While the layout of the new headquarters is highly captivating, the most talked-about feature is Apple’s pizza box patent. What makes this pizza box special is that it is covered with various-sized air vents designed to allow heat and moisture to escape, preventing the pizza from getting soggy and keeping the crust crispy.

The materials used for the pizza box also align with Apple’s longstanding commitment to sustainability, being made from recyclable materials. The sides of the box are constructed from sturdy material, and the lid features a secure clasp. Not only does it ensure the pizza stays intact, but it also resembles a sleek, minimalist briefcase. The clean, integrated design of the pizza box, along with its no-assembly-required structure, is very much in line with Apple’s signature style.
Apple’s Paper Bag Patent
This isn’t the first time Apple has designed a container. In addition to the pizza box, the company also designed and patented a paper bag. This bag not only uses eco-friendly material but also features some impressive improvements, such as handles made from circularly knit paper fibers that reinforce folds and seams — completely preventing accidental tearing.

Apple’s new headquarters aims to be an environmentally friendly facility. The curved glass façade, 100% renewable energy, forested and grassy landscaping, and a naturally lit and ventilated design that eliminates the need for lights and air conditioning all year round, are all intended to give employees a sense of openness — not feeling confined — thereby enhancing productivity in handling unforeseen situations. This remarkable creation has also led to widespread speculation that the iPhone 8 will be unveiled at the new "Steve Jobs Theater" within the campus.
