When I began designing the Pillor building, I wanted to create more than just an ordinary pharmacy—I aimed to craft a space that artistically reflects the connection between health, urban life, and modern architecture. My inspiration came from Japanese minimalism; a style that delivers simplicity, purity, and calmness alongside beauty.
