Soul Pattinson Chemists Sydney
The Client
In 1872, the first Soul Pattinson Chemist in Pitt Street was a one-room shop and within a year larger premises were needed and the pharmacy moved down the road to 158-160 Pitt Street.
Due to the pharmacy being destroyed by fire in 1886 another was built in its place aptly named the Phoenix Building, complete with a phoenix on top of the front facade. This building is still standing and is one of the nation’s busiest Soul Pattinson stores. By 1880 there were pharmacies in Balmain, Newtown, Oxford Street, North Sydney and Redfern.
The Soul Pattinson retail outlets expanded rapidly between 1920 and 1937 with more than fifteen pharmacies opening in New South Wales, in Sydney suburbs from Bankstown to Hurstville, and in the Newcastle region. Today there are over 80 Soul Pattinson Chemists nation wide.
Over the last 132 years, the face of Soul Pattinson has changed, evolved, but the contemporary values of quality, integrity and reliability have remained constant.

Project
Whytehall carried out internal refurbishments after existing fixtures and fittings had already been stripped out as part of a major face lift program for the Sydney store.
All upgrade works were carried out in carefully managed stages with most being undertaken out of trading hours to minimize disruption.
