Carlos, the client told me: “the aim is, essentially, to make a simple pharmacy with a nice economic façade with personality and that it won’t give many problems with graffiti”.

The interior was painted white -so were the wooden shelves- and  some thin fluorescent tube fixtures were placed in line hanged from the ceiling with thin wires.

The façade, taking into account the impossibility of cutting new openings in the wall, the effort and budget were focused on the development of a sliding blind mechanism that would totally close the premises during night time. The finish of the façade was kept un touched except for a thick black paint layer, which has helped reducing the number of graffiti being an awful background color. However, if anything appeared, it also offers the chance to quickly repaint it with a few strokes of black paint that will easily cover any other colors.
