Vamos is built around movement, community, and making racquet sports feel accessible—whether you’re brand new or there every week. The Welcome Hut is the first interior space designed for the brand, acting as the front door to that experience. From the start, we weren’t trying to create a traditional retail moment. We focused on how it should feel: open, energetic, easy to move through—with a bit of whimsy that matches the constant motion of the sport and the people in it.
That idea of movement became one of the most defining design moves in the space. Instead of relying on signage or decals, we pulled the wave from the Vamos logo and translated it directly onto the interior walls. The painted “bounce” meets you when you arrive and stays with you as you check in, browse, and head toward the courts. To make it feel intentional, the curve was mapped across the full back wall—unfolded, plotted, and documented with clear reference points so it wraps seamlessly across corners and transitions. Paint let us carry the brand’s motion through the architecture in a way that’s precise, flexible, and integrated—without needing heavy construction to make the statement.
We pulled from padel’s roots—playful curves, bright energy, and that hit of whimsy + motion—to make the space feel joyful the second you walk in.
Sculptural forms and fluid lines show up everywhere (furniture, millwork, architecture) so the whole place reads as one continuous movement, not a bunch of separate parts.
Ace Lime + Sky Blue pop against a neutral base, keeping things fresh, graphic, and high-energy—the kind of contrast that makes you want to look closer.
Rounded edges, soft forms, and natural materials (wood, textiles, warm finishes) make it feel easy, inclusive, and human—a space you actually want to hang in.
We built in interactive moments—modular seating, playful lighting, and whimsical details—so the space supports community and stays fun no matter what time of day it is.
