A 21st century pharmacy

Everybody knows the image of an ordinary Hungarian pharmacy: there is a crowded, purely lightened interior, where some bored people are waiting to reach the high rigid counters, hiding medicine inside. However, is it possible to design a drugstore that people would gladly visit?

Of course, yes! When we created the Budai Szent Anna Pharmacy brand, our goal was to send a message: the Hungarian pharmacy design should be reconsidered!​ Great lighting, wide variation of colours, fresh overall design - these words were far from the branch until now. In this store the desired products can be selected from roomy furniture made from natural materials, so they feel closer to the customer.

Medicines requiring prescription were placed behind the counter, which design was inspired by orderliness and health maintenance. Popular products can be browsed from freely placed stands and also from the shelving which features in­built hidden lighting. For special products, our designers created a custom­designed section following hectic style language. As a result, the interior became stylish and simple at the same time: this is a place where customers feel comfortable and welcome.

The construction itself was a fascinating logistical challenge. During the renovation the pharmacy was open: to make this happen, we had to finish the running part in a single weekend! Than we kept on working behind a temporary wall, and the parts of the puzzle were only met when it was pulled down. Although, if you enter the shop – and even if you have an experienced eye – you wouldn’t tell where could be the borderline.

With this project we stood up against old concepts and created a pharmacy focused on well being rather than illness. The result is one of the most innovative pharmacies in Budapest, inspired by international trends ­ with the desire to be followed.
