«Until this very day, we still receive compliments for our beautiful new pharmacy.»

Our previous pharmacy was much too small and no longer met the requirements of a modern pharmacy. The construction of a new health centre across the street then gave us the opportunity to move. Looking for ideas, we found the company Global Shop Design (GSD) on the Internet. We wanted a pharmacy with an urban, but also warm character. We were really attracted to GSD’s special style. Before we contacted you, we visited some of your clients to take a look at their pharmacies. All the clients were extremely satisfied with GSD – both with regard to planning and execution –, and the budget was also right. That gave us security.

Dear Pia, your planning was perfect! You fully understood how to implement our desire for a modern pharmacy in the countryside. The communication between craftsmen, architects and authorities worked perfectly. Our customers are enthusiastic without exception. Colleagues have also been inspired by our beautiful pharmacy and have meanwhile turned to you to work with them.
Our employees are happy with the optimised work processes.
The pharmacy makes an inviting impression due to the open, unobstructed shop window front. The view is led directly into the pharmacy. All rooms are flooded with daylight. In the large salesroom, we are now able to present the products much better than in the old pharmacy. The glazed walls of the dispensary optically enlarge and enhance the room.
Above the ceiling element, GSD planned an air conditioning system that is connected with a long textile sleeving. The cold air gently streams down around the ceiling element. There is no draught at all, and the rooms are always at a very pleasant temperature. The oak floor is surprisingly uncomplicated.

Cash sales have increased significantly, and we were able to increase our turnover. The additional parking spaces in front of and next to the pharmacy also contribute to the success. Looking back, the period of planning and implementation with you was inspiring, exciting and extremely satisfying. We would do everything exactly the same again!

Initial situation

On June 9, 2013, the people of Fehlaltorf agreed to a credit for a new construction on Hechtplatz. Hence, they were able to look forward to a new competence centre for health, safety and prevention. The former Linden pharmacy (owned by Mrs Marlis Peter und Mrs Regine Brinkmann) could now move into the new building on Hechtplatz. Global Shop Design was commissioned to carry out the design and realisation of the new pharmacy.

Task

The aim of both the owners was to create an urban and modern pharmacy that should also be warm and welcoming for customers and employees. A unique room concept should convey a relaxing and pleasant environment.

Solution

After an intense planning and construction phase, a very tastefully designed and  customised sales area was created. An integrated air-conditioning system lies above the ceiling canvas that is suspended lower down. The cooler air gently flows around the ceiling canvas into the room. In collaboration with a very dedicated graphic designer, a highly interesting ceiling design was developed. The fully glazed laboratory provides daylight and caters for an ideal use of space. The wooden floor and the targeted lighting help to create a warm atmosphere.
