This interplay is potentialised where all three
elements are brought together — just as several different medications taken together may
cause pharmaceutical interaction. The interaction profile of colour, shape and material
should therefore be professionally coordinated with the corporate identity, so that it corresponds with the corporate philosophy. There,
where people feel at home, heal or recover,
the interplay between the interior design elements should be designed with the greatest
possible care and circumspection. Depending
on the given functional area of the pharmacy —
whether over-the-counter sales and cash desk,
self-service or over-the-counter display, whether prescriptions or advice — different goals are
being pursued with regard to the stimulation
of emotions and actions. The potential psychological effects of colours, shapes, and materials must be deployed and combined here in a
carefully targeted manner.
The suggestive strength and unconscious
effect of colours were known long before
Goethe’s colour circle. Depending on the intensity of the shade and degree to which they
are used, yellow and red, blue and green, or
black and white in all their tones and shades
can spark off a huge variety of responses. In
the healthcare area, and thus also in pharmacies, no general statement can be made on
whether there are colours which are more likely to encourage recovery and well-being than
6
others. Thus white was traditionally seen as the
[non] colour of the healing professions, but has
lost ground continually since colour psychology
became a fixed feature of the interior design of
pharmacies, medical practices, and clinics. The
situation is similar with regard to the selection of
shapes and materials.
Curves always appear softer than sharp edges and are also employed at a superordinate
level in pharmacies: Wherever the space of the
dispensary permits, bends and curves can be
used to steer the paths of customers and patients. The psychology of paths can be applied,
people’s automatic tendency to veer to the right
can be taken into account, and customers can
be unconsciously steered to the self-ser vice section if there is sufficient space in the sales area.
The choice of suitable materials for a pharmacy
is made in light of functionality and aesthetics.
Where robustness and durability are required,
they must also be guaranteed.
For, just as a pharmacy’s corporate identity is built to last, equally, the interior design of
the pharmacy should not be subject to frequent
change or, even worse, display signs of wear
and tear.
A corporate identity is not a fashion statement and its visual must also communicate constant sustainability and tangible authenticity.
If the personality of the pharmacy is best expressed in a glowing shade of orange then the
communication of this personality can outlive any

trend using precisely this colour, or possibly
only using it as a highlight, in the pharmacy.
Fashion consciousness however is no contradiction to a corporate identity geared to the
long term. A good corporate identity can also
be implemented by means of effective, topical advertising strategies and measures. This is
a question of nuances, details — it is not about
the pharmacy as a whole. It should be made
clear here, that “measures” refers not just to
the design of eye-catching posters and advertisements.
Rather, it is the choice of product range,
the type and way in which goods are placed,
and the question of whether customers are addressed in a loud or quiet manner — all elements which are just as important as the consistent use of the corporate design. Even the
training of employees with regard to providing expert advice during special, target grouporiented campaigns or in the areas of starting
conversation, question techniques or handling
objections, is an element of customer-oriented
corporate identity.
The interior design of a pharmacy is more
than the harmonious composition of various
functional areas to create a pretty dispensary, because an “attractive” pharmacy is either
the expression of a corporate culture or it is
an empty façade — and today’s customers and
patients are well able to differentiate between
exactly the two.

GROUND PLAN | Retention of the previous ground
plan structure shows that the limits of this form
have been reached. A central corridor should
not extend any further. A longer corridor is unacceptable, not only because of the long distances
but also for design reasons [Figs. 26 and 27]. The
alternative ground plan developed specifically
for the medium-sized multi-doctor practice contains the same rooms, but needs 10 % more floor
area after deducting the inner courtyard. The
reason for the introduction of the inner courtyard
in this schematic ground plan is the need to light
all the practice rooms with natural daylight. Even
so, the inner courtyard increases the overall quality of the design [Figs. 28 and 29].

Unlike the initial scheme, in which natural
daylight penetrates the building both via the
ends of corridors designed to allow the passage
of light and via the central reception and waiting
area, the alternative scheme seems to be flooded
with light via the ends of four corridors designed
to allow the passage of light, the similarly lightfilled reception and waiting area and the inner
courtyard [Fig. 30].

Practices begins at over 400 square metres of

large medical buildings which can house up to
40 practices and more. Assuming an average

GROUND PLAN | The structure of the ground plan is
the same as that of the medium-sized multi-doctor
practice variant [Figs. 33 and 34]. Because of the
enlargement and different uses of some rooms,
the office and the multi-purpose room must be accommodated by the inner courtyard. The two connections for the examination and treatment rooms
have been lengthened by the addition of some

Standards for a large multi-doctor practice
Recent developments in health care policy tend
to concentrate outpatient care increasingly in
large high-performance and economically efficient centres. The large multi-doctor practice is
one of the first facilities of this type. Additionally, in Germany, hospital outpatient departments,
medical centres, diagnostic centres, medical
care centres and health centres have also sprung
up. Essentially, these are also large multi-doctor
practices but follow a different care approach.
medical practice, then the medical centre referred
to above would have at least 2,400 square metres
of usable floor space. The example chosen here
has seven specialist medical practices with a usable floor space of 500 square metres [Fig. 31]. In
comparison with the medium-sized multi-doctor
practice, four specialist examination and treatment rooms have been added. The available space
for the remaining rooms has been expanded and
given different uses.
With regard to the function groups Patients,
Specialist Medical Rooms, Administration Rooms,
and Service and Staff Rooms and compared with
the previous model, the function scheme for large
multi-doctor practices shows that some individual
rooms have been enlarged and given different
uses, whereas the remaining function groups have
merely been given more usable floor space. The
linear arrangement of the related function groups
displays a high degree of clarity and order. As for
the supply and disposal rooms, the sterilisation
rooms are, for functional reasons, situated in the
vicinity of the specialist medical rooms [Fig. 32].

A comparison of the distances to be walked
shows, for example, that the distances between
the furthest apart specialist medical rooms,
measured from the middle of the door walls,
are more or less the same [16.0 metres and
16.5 metres]. The central location of the staff
rooms means that these distances are acceptable. Even if some distances should be a little
longer, they would not pose a problem, as they
would be balanced by the enhanced experience
of the alternative.

and the willingness of employees and customers to communicate. At the same time, a genius loci must also be shaped, in which customers and patients feel safe, content, and well
looked after. Good design has the aim of inspiring people, of making them stay, of arousing wishes, and of stimulating the imagination
and ultimately, in terms of shop design’s functional aspects, the aim of enhancing people’s
willingness to buy. This cannot be achieved in
functional rooms in which the product-filled
shelves lack emotional character.
But where interior design serves its true
purpose, it can convey aura and atmosphere,
personality and a personal feel to people, thus
rendering the corporate identity visible and
making it tangible. As such, the design of pharmacies and other health amenities should, in
particular, employ creative and sociopsychological expertise to complement the purely
technical aspects of interior design.
The elements which interior design can
employ are both simple and complex: colour,
shape, and material. Each element makes its
very own statement and, in its individuality, has
an effect on all those who come into contact
with it. However, as soon as two or more colours, two or more shapes, two or more materials come together, the statement made by
the individual element may no longer be valid,
and the elements either mutually strengthen
or foil each other: they enter into a dialogue.

This interplay is potentialised where all three
elements are brought together — just as several different medications taken together may
cause pharmaceutical interaction. The interaction profile of colour, shape and material
should therefore be professionally coordinated with the corporate identity, so that it corresponds with the corporate philosophy. There,
where people feel at home, heal or recover,
the interplay between the interior design elements should be designed with the greatest
possible care and circumspection. Depending
on the given functional area of the pharmacy —
whether over-the-counter sales and cash desk,
self-service or over-the-counter display, whether prescriptions or advice — different goals are
being pursued with regard to the stimulation
of emotions and actions. The potential psychological effects of colours, shapes, and materials must be deployed and combined here in a
carefully targeted manner.
The suggestive strength and unconscious
effect of colours were known long before
Goethe’s colour circle. Depending on the intensity of the shade and degree to which they
are used, yellow and red, blue and green, or
black and white in all their tones and shades
can spark off a huge variety of responses. In
the healthcare area, and thus also in pharmacies, no general statement can be made on
whether there are colours which are more likely to encourage recovery and well-being than
6
others. Thus white was traditionally seen as the
[non] colour of the healing professions, but has
lost ground continually since colour psychology
became a fixed feature of the interior design of
pharmacies, medical practices, and clinics. The
situation is similar with regard to the selection of
shapes and materials.
Curves always appear softer than sharp edges and are also employed at a superordinate
level in pharmacies: Wherever the space of the
dispensary permits, bends and curves can be
used to steer the paths of customers and patients. The psychology of paths can be applied,
people’s automatic tendency to veer to the right
can be taken into account, and customers can
be unconsciously steered to the self-ser vice section if there is sufficient space in the sales area.
The choice of suitable materials for a pharmacy
is made in light of functionality and aesthetics.
Where robustness and durability are required,
they must also be guaranteed.
For, just as a pharmacy’s corporate identity is built to last, equally, the interior design of
the pharmacy should not be subject to frequent
change or, even worse, display signs of wear
and tear.
A corporate identity is not a fashion statement and its visual must also communicate constant sustainability and tangible authenticity.
If the personality of the pharmacy is best expressed in a glowing shade of orange then the
communication of this personality can outlive any

trend using precisely this colour, or possibly
only using it as a highlight, in the pharmacy.
Fashion consciousness however is no contradiction to a corporate identity geared to the
long term. A good corporate identity can also
be implemented by means of effective, topical advertising strategies and measures. This is
a question of nuances, details — it is not about
the pharmacy as a whole. It should be made
clear here, that “measures” refers not just to
the design of eye-catching posters and advertisements.
Rather, it is the choice of product range,
the type and way in which goods are placed,
and the question of whether customers are addressed in a loud or quiet manner — all elements which are just as important as the consistent use of the corporate design. Even the
training of employees with regard to providing expert advice during special, target grouporiented campaigns or in the areas of starting
conversation, question techniques or handling
objections, is an element of customer-oriented
corporate identity.
The interior design of a pharmacy is more
than the harmonious composition of various
functional areas to create a pretty dispensary, because an “attractive” pharmacy is either
the expression of a corporate culture or it is
an empty façade — and today’s customers and
patients are well able to differentiate between
exactly the two.

GROUND PLAN | Retention of the previous ground
plan structure shows that the limits of this form
have been reached. A central corridor should
not extend any further. A longer corridor is unacceptable, not only because of the long distances
but also for design reasons [Figs. 26 and 27]. The
alternative ground plan developed specifically
for the medium-sized multi-doctor practice contains the same rooms, but needs 10 % more floor
area after deducting the inner courtyard. The
reason for the introduction of the inner courtyard
in this schematic ground plan is the need to light
all the practice rooms with natural daylight. Even
so, the inner courtyard increases the overall quality of the design [Figs. 28 and 29].

Unlike the initial scheme, in which natural
daylight penetrates the building both via the
ends of corridors designed to allow the passage
of light and via the central reception and waiting
area, the alternative scheme seems to be flooded
with light via the ends of four corridors designed
to allow the passage of light, the similarly lightfilled reception and waiting area and the inner
courtyard [Fig. 30].

GROUND PLAN | The structure of the ground plan is
the same as that of the medium-sized multi-doctor
practice variant [Figs. 33 and 34]. Because of the
enlargement and different uses of some rooms,
the office and the multi-purpose room must be accommodated by the inner courtyard. The two connections for the examination and treatment rooms
have been lengthened by the addition of some

Standards for a large multi-doctor practice
Recent developments in health care policy tend
to concentrate outpatient care increasingly in
large high-performance and economically efficient centres. The large multi-doctor practice is
one of the first facilities of this type. Additionally, in Germany, hospital outpatient departments,
medical centres, diagnostic centres, medical
care centres and health centres have also sprung
up. Essentially, these are also large multi-doctor
practices but follow a different care approach.
medical practice, then the medical centre referred
to above would have at least 2,400 square metres
of usable floor space. The example chosen here
has seven specialist medical practices with a usable floor space of 500 square metres [Fig. 31]. In
comparison with the medium-sized multi-doctor
practice, four specialist examination and treatment rooms have been added. The available space
for the remaining rooms has been expanded and
given different uses.
With regard to the function groups Patients,
Specialist Medical Rooms, Administration Rooms,
and Service and Staff Rooms and compared with
the previous model, the function scheme for large
multi-doctor practices shows that some individual
rooms have been enlarged and given different
uses, whereas the remaining function groups have
merely been given more usable floor space. The
linear arrangement of the related function groups
displays a high degree of clarity and order. As for
the supply and disposal rooms, the sterilisation
rooms are, for functional reasons, situated in the
vicinity of the specialist medical rooms [Fig. 32].

A comparison of the distances to be walked
shows, for example, that the distances between
the furthest apart specialist medical rooms,
measured from the middle of the door walls,
are more or less the same [16.0 metres and
16.5 metres]. The central location of the staff
rooms means that these distances are acceptable. Even if some distances should be a little
longer, they would not pose a problem, as they
would be balanced by the enhanced experience
of the alternative.

and the willingness of employees and customers to communicate. At the same time, a genius loci must also be shaped, in which customers and patients feel safe, content, and well
looked after. Good design has the aim of inspiring people, of making them stay, of arousing wishes, and of stimulating the imagination
and ultimately, in terms of shop design’s functional aspects, the aim of enhancing people’s
willingness to buy. This cannot be achieved in
functional rooms in which the product-filled
shelves lack emotional character.
But where interior design serves its true
purpose, it can convey aura and atmosphere,
personality and a personal feel to people, thus
rendering the corporate identity visible and
making it tangible. As such, the design of pharmacies and other health amenities should, in
particular, employ creative and sociopsychological expertise to complement the purely
technical aspects of interior design.
The elements which interior design can
employ are both simple and complex: colour,
shape, and material. Each element makes its
very own statement and, in its individuality, has
an effect on all those who come into contact
with it. However, as soon as two or more colours, two or more shapes, two or more materials come together, the statement made by
the individual element may no longer be valid,
and the elements either mutually strengthen
or foil each other: they enter into a dialogue.
