Concept to Opening
The Brief
We were tasked by the founder and president of Under Armour to help reimagine the brand’s flagship laboratory space in Baltimore’s Harbor East. Designed as an experimental showroom, the space serves as a testing ground for new ideas and helps shape the future of how Under Armour shows up at retail.
Over the course of a year, we worked closely with executive leadership to rethink the experience across both flagship and commercial doors. We explored multiple iterations of brand storytelling, with a primary focus on product innovation, technical performance, and creating a clearer, more compelling way to communicate what makes each product unique.
Once the strategy and messaging were established, we translated that thinking into the physical environment—experimenting with multiple floor plans, activations, fixture concepts, visual merchandising, and styling standards.
The result was an entirely new retail environment designed to be as nimble as the ever-changing fashion and performance industries. Flexible, adaptable, and highly visual, the space allows Under Armour to execute quick product drops, continuously evolve its storytelling, and put product innovation at the center of the experience.
