The project concerns the renovation of a building which was built in the beginning of the twentieth century. Placed along Ridolfi road, it originally was the storage room of the railroad station of Castelfiorentino and it has been unused for a long time before the renovation. The elongated rectangular plan occupies about 200 square meters; the half, located in the mid area, is occupied by the shopping area: the chemist’s store, the perfumer’s shop, the parapharmacy. The remaining area holds an office, the laboratory for preparation of drugs, the analysis room, the storehouse, the changing room and some other service rooms. Furniture, entirely designed by the studio, reminds the historical iconography of pharmacy like the green cross which make it immediately recognizable.

By the cross we solved the main lighting system in the hall and a few exposition island elements placed in the middle. The entire furniture, green laquered is custom designed and made by carpentry works. Only the false ceilings and floors and tops of counters are white. The vault of the shopping area is made by random perforated plasterboard panels, which creates a unique atmosphere for a commercial space. Only green and white everywhere, ready to home the colorful package of goods.
