The Australian Shop and Office Fitting Industry Association (ASOFIA) have awarded an Interior Fitout Award to One Group Retail Experience for their Waterford Plaza Shopping Centre, Jamaica Blue store.

Designed by interior designer Sarah Daniel from The Foodco Group, ONE Group brought to life the winning Jamaica Blue cafe with distressed timbers, a neutral colour scheme and rustic looking Brick Tiles by Robertson Building Products.

The ONE Group brief included coming up with finishes and products that suited the design scope. The company had to also ensure the concept and costs were viable to suit its budgets.

The judges praised the high standards in workmanship, creative expression and convenient solution of the brick tiles, which feature the same subtle imperfections seen in hand made clay bricks.

Using tilers to create these brick walls also allowed other trades to work simultaneously, improving the production schedule and ensuring this project was open on-budget and on-time.

“Winning this award for this job is a great moment for our team,” said ONE Group project manager, Alan Liddel. “It is proof that our processes and procedures that we have worked hard to perfect are what create successful relationships with our clients.”

ONE Group has been working with The Foodco Group, the owners of the Jamaica Blue franchising brand, since 1999. The relationship has seen 11 fitouts completed since 2010 including this award winning space in Waterford Plaza.
