The Yitang traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic in Taipei has created a row of bar-like seats around traditional medicine cabinets, where patients can communicate closely with doctors to understand the whole dispensing process.

Recently, another drugstore "Molecular Pharmacy" with eye-catching design style has emerged in Taiwan. This pharmacy is located in the business district of Taichung National Opera House in the area of famous luxury houses. With the mixed mode of drugstore, coffee shop and life experience, it has quickly become a hot topic among Taiwanese.

Taiwan Molecular Pharmacy Bureau

The Molecular Pharmacy Bureau is not a pharmacy in the strict sense. Taiwan's local media call it a "health selection store." Instead of emphasizing the professionalism of drugstores, it advocates becoming a new place for local people to seek health and leisure, providing more counseling services than professional consultation services.

The Pharmacy Bureau is equipped with three pharmacists who provide medical advice and dispensing, and a beauty hygienist who provides health and cosmetic consulting services. these doctors are young people born in the 1980s and are mainly responsible for providing healthy life guidance. In other words, if you have a headache or are in a long-term state of sub-health, a molecular pharmacy can help you solve these "glitches".

Focus on the experience space that can pass the time, and the interior design of the pharmacy should also be attractive. Founded in 2008, the water phase design with rich experience in the field of interior design in Taiwan has taken charge of the design of the molecular pharmacy, creating a modern pharmacy space based on the concept of "green laboratory".

Walk into the pharmacy, first of all, it is a tall space, it is surrounded by transparent acrylic shelves, shelves are made of cobblestones behind the walls, with a rough texture. Including health food, beauty products, and body care products such as shampoo and bath cream, all of which are clearly displayed on the shelves.

A natural, friendly and healthy life style is the core of the design of molecular pharmacy. It abandons the one-way mode of traditional pharmacy counter service and takes a laboratory platform embedded with iPad consulting service system as the core of the whole space. The experimental platform is made of solid wood, and the base is the primitive cortex of the century-old tree trunk, coupled with the branches and bryophytes dotted on the platform, pharmacists and customers can interact freely through the experimental platform.

A curvy brass staircase connects the first floor and the second floor and serves the function of dividing the space. The solid wooden platform is a platform for health care services on one side of the turnstile, and a hand-brewed coffee counter on the other, with a shelf with colored acrylic in the middle. Guests can sit down and have a cup of coffee and have a rest after listening to the doctor's advice. Go further and you'll find the cashier.

Up the stairs, the second floor is planned to build an art salon, the shopkeeper hopes to make going to the pharmacy an interesting thing. Looking down from the second floor, you can find more interesting details: highly designed brass lights, suspended green flowers grow wantonly, echoing the century-old tree base on the first floor.
