Located in a typical North American suburban development in Ontario, Canada, the Diorama pharmacy presents an interior that blends natural and artificial landscapes, evoking a diorama model. This throughway-style design transforms the space into a surreal yet functional landscape, drawing inspiration from the surrounding suburbia.

The interior employs materials, colors, and forms that mimic cityscapes within a diorama, with vibrant green tones brought to life by custom fixtures and shelving. Despite a modest budget, the shelving—crafted from durable laminate—serves as both product display and divider, subtly separating the front-of-house from the back operations while offering privacy.

The design contrasts artificial and real elements, with raw concrete walls transitioning into mock plants and real marble plinths used as seating and display areas. This interplay of materials elevates the space, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating pharmacy experience that mirrors its suburban context.
