Future pharmacy

There are two main types of pharmacy in Japan. Retail pharmacies offer basic medicines and pharmaceutical products, while dispensing pharmacies are typically connected to a nearby hospital or clinic. Customers visiting a dispensing pharmacy receive their medicine via prescription and can speak to a healthcare professional.

KTX archiLAB’s bold new pharmacy is designed to promote a nearby general hospital and enable it to stand out in a competitive market. The studio used a variety of cutting-edge techniques and finishes to create a modern, streamlined aesthetic that evokes a sense of professionalism and trustworthiness in the minds of visitors.

The pharmacy has also improved its quality of service. Where people visiting a pharmacy typically present their prescription at the counter and wait to be called back, patients at KTX archiLAB’s pharmacy simply take a seat in a comfortable waiting area and are promptly visited by an in-house pharmacist.
