«Both the annexe and the retail area now shine in unified harmony.»
The shop area was too small and restricted. We wanted to expand the presentation of goods, especially the range of chemist’s products. Especially for the staff, there was too little space. Our business has grown over the years, and today we have three times more employees than before.
We also had other project proposals on the table, but the Global Shop Design project appealed to us the most. Pia Koefoed fully understood our ideas, and she implemented them in a highly successful manner. She also respected our opinion when something was undesirable. Her suggestions were very appealing and were exactly what we were looking for.
The planning stage was very efficient. It was important to us that the new facility creates a link between the existing part of the pharmacy in the beautiful classicist house dating back to 1928 and the modern extension. It was also a major concern for us that our existing customers could identify with the new pharmacy. After the conversion and extension, it should appear modern but still cosy. We still have the feeling that everything fits. We have not yet discovered anything that we would do differently today.

Initial situation
Through ownership of the building and land, the construction of a modern annexe became possible.
Task
For years we have planned to convert the pharmacy and extend it with an annexe to offer our customers a larger range of products. The new facility should match the existing neo-classical building.
Solution
After analysing the layout and visualisation with regard to how the pharmacy could be extended, a local architect was contracted to implement the annexe. Afterwards, the extension was furnished with new furniture and used as a temporary solution until the old pharmacy was completed. Historical floor slabs connect the neo-classical house with the modern extension. While the furniture made of white oiled oak creates a feeling of familiarity, the dark rear walls succeed in highlighting the products.
