The hospital pharmacy dedicated to children has been sponsored and donated to the Ministry of Health by Advanced Technology Company (ATC). The hospital has been named after Abdullah, a 4 year old child with cancer who didn’t want to stay in cold and anonymous hospitals. His mother promised to look after him at home and she did thanks to KACCH (Kuwait Association for the Care of Children in Hospital) with its team of visiting doctors. After six months Abdullah died in his mother arms, surrounded by his family and the things he loved most. This is why a child friendly hospital has been planned, to give support to children with life-threatening conditions and their families. Bayt Abdullah Children Hospice (BACCH) has been built thanks to public donations and it is the first pediatric hospital in the Middle East. Sartoretto Verna is proud to be part of this project where even a small pharmacy with the right atmosphere can cheer people and make them smile.

Our architects have created a family like environment, simple but cheerful, perfectly integrated in the design of the Hospital. For the display wall there is a nuance of warm colors such as yellow, salmon and red: tones that children usually like. Ral System 1 white lacquered display units with backlit visuals make the space very bright. For the operative area such as back counter and stock ordering, the small available space has been used to its best creating a light and pleasant environment. There is a comfortable seating area where patients/clients can wait, while children have dog shaped seats which make the waiting more cheerful. The atmosphere we find in the pharmacy is positive and relaxing. Sartoretto Verna has succeded once more in creating something unique yet simple thanks to its experience, its use of quality materials and the right colors.

Comments by George Breidy vice president of the Pharmaceutical Division of ATC have been extremely positive: ‘The pharmacy is perfect and Sartoretto Verna did an excellent job’.

In Kuwait Sartoretto Verna has designed a custom-made pharmacy. Original solutions have transformed this space into a practical point of sale in order to increase profits. Internal lighting, original architectural and furnishing elements have created a smooth and attractive environment in an area of 30 sqm.

The design of the facade and the sign have been thoroughly studied to compensate for the lack of windows. A wide glass entrance enables the clients to see interior of the pharmacy from the road. The entrance area has been enhanced by a lit cube in methacrylate, holding several products. The Ral System 2 display line has rectangular tympanums in backlit colored glass and digital monitors. The simple shelves with aluminum pillars create a light and sober effect, the curved layout makes the space look bigger. Three Mondrian colored cubes hanging from a pillar highlight promotions and new products. On the left display case there is an etched glass semitop that can be used as counter, advice area or other services according to different needs. At the centre of the pharmacy there is a gondola shelving on wheels with matt methacrylate sides and shelves in transparent plexiglass. Facing the entrance we find the ethic area with a white and blue back lit single counter, with marble top and a chromed steel satellite to keep the counter better organized. Behind the counter there is a cabinet with Ral System 1 elements with over the counter products. 

Since the space is so small, the architects from Sartoretto Verna have conceived a layout to enhance the visibility of the pharmacy giving pharmacists and clients enough room to move freely. The essential furniture of Ral System 1 and Ral System 2 lines make the environment neat and organized. The displays give maximum visibility to the products in order to attract the attention of the public. To make clients feel more comfortable there is a seat in the make-up area to be used while waiting, getting advice or testing new products.

Choice of colors has been important to give depth to the space: the pharmacy is in white and blue tones, which dilate spaces and create a fresh and relaxing atmosphere. The floor is in grey porcelain stoneware tiles with a central blue rectangle. In the false ceiling there is a rectangle of starry sky lit by fiber optics, recalling clear desert nights. This is a modern, bright pharmacy, with a strong identity, a pleasant space where you can buy products and recuperate from the heat and the crowded street of Kuwait City. A new pharmacy will be opening in September, a confirmation of the interest shown by Emirates clientele towards the ‘ community focal point’ proposed by Sartoretto Verna.
