The new pharmacy is intended for the square, which is actively used by pedestrians in all possible directions.
The building will be well visible from all sides, so all its facades should be equally representative.

The form of the new building is conceived as a sixteen-sided parallelepiped,
enclosed by an openwork, semi-transparent metal lattice. The structural module of the façade
is based on an interpretation of the pharmacy symbol — the cross — which is used
as a repeating compositional element and a unifying motif of the building’s architectural identity.
