The Placebo Pharmacy Glyfada design by Klab Architecture. This circular architecture building located in Athens, Greece.
The octagonal shape of the existing structure was re-formed into a cylinder in order to create a circular which seeks to converse with the rapid motion on Vouliagmenis Avenue, the urban artery on which the building stands. The panels of the façade are perforated using Braille, which both alludes to the system’s use on pharmaceutical packaging and boosts visibility by allowing the light to find its way into the interior. The new facade also protects the interior while acting as a lure for passers-by. Inside, the product display mirrors the circular frontage, while a ramp up to the upper level extends the dynamism of the exterior spiral into the interior space.
