Cutting Edge 配藥房，日本

設計公司：Matsuya Art Works建筑設計公司，KTX archiLAB建筑事務所（日本）

The Cutting Edge是日本一家位于小郡第一總合病院附近的配藥房。它的空間設計，務求營造一種安詳、寧靜的氣氛，令人聯想到大自然的平和。盡管如此，患者到醫院求醫是基于對現代醫學的信任，所以真正讓患者感到安心的是先進的醫療保健及藥物。一個黑色的十字架，將簡約的白色室內設計分成四個部分，透過玻璃墻壁也看得見。從外墻伸出的陽臺形成一個鮮明的輪廓，因而強化了室內干凈利落的直線。整體而言，建筑師顛覆了藥房的沉悶格局，為醫院病人建造一個安詳卻又一個富未來感的空間。

The Cutting Edge is a dispensing pharmacy located near Himeji Daiichi general hospital in Japan. The space is designed to create a calming and tranquil atmosphere that one would associate with the peacefulness of nature. Nonetheless, the simple fact of coming to a medical institution lays on the trust that the patient puts on modern medicine. The true peace of mind is reached when the medical care is advance and is at its cutting edge. The minimalist white interior demarcated by a black cross can be seen through the glazed fa?ade. The balcony extruded from the fa?ade created a sharp outline that accentuates the clean straight lines of the interior. Overall, architect subverted the otherwise boring space into a serene yet futuristic experience for the hospital's patient.
