Architecture practice Ministry of Design (MOD) have completed Durasport – an interactive athletics boutique in Singapore.

Situated at the recently renovated Jewel Changi Airport, the 183 sq m outlet, with its chrome-finished, streamlined interiors, was designed to resemble a futuristic laboratory.

According to the architects, Durasport was also created to provide high-performance athletes, such as cyclists, mountaineers, and skiers, with personalised "experiential zones" where they would be able to test and learn about products through immersive displays. and exhibits.

The store also boasts five simulators, including "an indoor interactive non-motorised climbing wall with a rotating surface to simulate climbing without height risks".

"All of this is a first for Singapore," said MOD in an Instagram post.

Durasport also offers a number of cutting-edge products, among which are the world's first graphene bicycle, heat-mouldable cycling trainers, stretch-resistant wetsuits, adjustable ski boots, and breath-extending snorkels.
