Located on Nantun Road, the first historical thoroughfare of its district in Taichung, Taiwan, this project transforms a compact 30-square-meter space into a gentle sanctuary of health. Serving as the dispensary for an exceptionally busy adjacent pediatric clinic, the design eschews the cold, clinical aesthetic of traditional pharmacies in favor of a warm, human-centric approach. The core of this vision is a carefully curated pastel color code designed to soothe and welcome, particularly for young patients and their families.
The palette is led by a soft, muted milk tea beige, which envelops the walls and primary fixtures, creating a calming and unified backdrop. This gentle base is inspired by the warmth of natural light, instantly lowering anxiety and fostering a sense of tranquility. Accentuating this serene atmosphere is a calming matcha green, used for playful, abstract forms that serve as display units. These biomorphic shapes subtly deconstruct the universal symbols of a cross and a pill, reinterpreting them as soft, approachable art forms rather than stark medical icons.
This thoughtful color strategy extends to every detail. Prioritizing child safety, all corners and counters are softly rounded, their gentle curves reinforcing the design’s welcoming nature. A large glass façade opens the interior to the street, allowing the warm, pastel-hued space to act as a beacon of calm. Concealed warm lighting further enhances the palette, ensuring the environment feels nurturing at all hours. By embracing a pastel color code, the pharmacy is redefined—it is no longer a mere transaction point, but a thoughtful, healing space that prioritizes emotional comfort and visual softness.
