What does the modern pharmacy space look like?
  1. When designing the new Molecure Pharmacy in Taipei, local design studio Waterfrom embraced a modern and holistic design approach in contrast to the typical sterile and uninviting nature of pharmacies. - Lee Kuomin
  2. The 52-sq-m Molecure Pharmacy in Taipei features a central display platform designed to break away from traditional counter service, fostering more organic and engaging interactions between pharmacists and customers. - Lee Kuomin
  3. The platform, crafted from sleek blue units, incorporates various scales and forms that invite exploration. - Lee Kuomin
  4. These units not only serve as display areas but also embody the project's innovative approach, which breaks away from conventional pharmacy aesthetics. - Lee Kuomin
  5. Waterfrom Design defies tradition by forgoing often-used colour palettes and using alternative materials and spatial arrangements. - Lee Kuomin
  6. The pharmacy’s walls are lined with glass shelves that house a carefully curated selection of products and display modern, lab-inspired elements. - Lee Kuomin
  7. At the core of the design is a modular system composed of metal tubes of varying diameters, meticulously arranged in a repetitive pattern to form display racks that rise to two m. - Lee Kuomin
  8. The displays create a strong sense of vertical enclosure within the compact space. - Lee Kuomin
  9. The inward-slanting, maze-like entrance is designed to add complexity, ensuring that the full layout remains concealed from immediate view, sparking curiosity. - Lee Kuomin
  10. The space continues upon Waterfrom’s previous work with the Molecure brand in Taichung, where the designers also prioritized customer interaction and reimagined the traditional pharmacy layout. - Lee Kuomin
