January 28, 1978: Apple Computer offers a customized business center that allows you to occupy Bandley 1, the first customized office, to accommodate the growth operations in California Cooper Tino.
Nearly 40 years before Apple Park’s amazing “spacecraft” headquarters, Cupertino’s 10260 Bandley Drive has become a permanent headquarters for the first purpose of the company.
Bandree 1: Originally Apple Headquarters
According to the Silicon Valley Folklore, the first headquarters of Apple was created in the parent garage of Steve Jobs in 2066 Crist Drive in Los Altos, California. But Apple’s co -founder Steve Wozniak says it did not actually occur in that legendary position.
“There was no design, breadboard, prototyping, and product plan there. We didn’t manufacture there. ” “The garage has not achieved much purpose except what we think of our house.”
Apple, which surpassed the garage and officially formed as a company, moved to 20863 Stevens Creek Boulevard in Cooper Tino, California. (This structure was nicknamed “GOOD EARTH” building.) Finally, the company finally moved to the first customized headquarters at Cupertino’s Bandley Drive in early 1978.

As can be seen in the image above, this building is sketched by Chris Espinosa in January 1978. At least early.
“tennis court?” Espinosa joked on the Bandley 1 floor plan. Later the space became Apple’s first warehouse. (The company eventually rented a building across the street, and the second next to it grows and grows.)
The “advent” rooms in the diagram were demo space. We have accommodated the state of $ 3,000 of the most advanced projection TV for dazzling visitors. Jobs got his office because no one wanted to share with him. Mike Markkula, an important figure in early Apple history, landed because he smoked at work.
Spanish architecture influenced the design of Bandley 1. Today’s structure is mostly similar to the office of the 1970s. This was that.
Apple’s headquarters is expanded
The headquarters for Apple’s bandley drives ultimately grew up, including Bandley 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. Confused, Apple did not specify the name of this building according to the location of this building. Instead, the company nominated them in the order they gained. For example, Bandley 2 was sitting between Bandley 4 and Bandley 5.
According to the website AppleWorld, the Bandley building later accepted the legal office, the United Systems Technology Computer Store and the Cupertino Driving School.
