Extreme Sports Retail Store

In the heart of Detroit, is a one hundred and fifty foot tall mountain. An extreme sports store, catering toward rock climbing, free running, roller blading, and skateboarding. The concept behind this building was functionality and consumer usability. The point of the store is for people to try out these sports before they buy anything. It also gives people a place to use their equipment after they buy it.
