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.

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.
