Construction News Image
Northern Ireland fitout company Pure Fitout has been shortlisted for a prestigious global award.

The firm will compete against Harrods Wine & Spirits, Nike House of Innovation and Virgin Megastore for the 2019 award in Interior Excellence at this year's Global Retail & Leisure International (RLI) Awards.

The RLI awards celebrate retail and leisure excellence on a global scale, recognising the best in innovative and imaginative fit outs.

Pure Fitout has been nominated for its work on The Devlin hotel in Dublin, which saw the company collaborate with renowned designers O'Donnell O'Neill Design Associates, and Lawrence & Long Architects. It is the only hotel nominated in its category.

Edward Cooke, CEO of Revo and member of the 2019 RLI judging panel, said: "I loved the creative design and the personality The Devlin showed over the competition.

"The sense of functionality within the hotel rooms and the fact the venue has a variety of different uses and isn't just a hotel built around guests but the local community, was a differentiating factor for me.

"Every aspect of the hotel is local from the fabric used to the bespoke marble and bronze features manufactured in-house by Pure Fitout's team. When visiting a hotel it's important to understand and appreciate not just the food and drink but the provenance of the materials and have an appreciation of where they came from."

The 237-day project incorporated unique handcrafted elements made from materials sourced from all over the world. From bespoke marble features to handmade carpets and bronze finishes, Pure Fitout brought The Devlin to life from scratch, sourcing and manufacturing nearly every feature of the hotel from the 40 ModPods, to the timber panelled rooftop restaurant and bar, art deco cinema, bronze-finished Americana Bar and Moroccan tiled bathrooms.

Ronan Higham, Founder and Managing Director of Pure Fitout, said: "We are incredibly proud to receive the international recognition that the team deserves for the stunning fitout of The Devlin. It's a testament to the hard work and skilled craftmanship that we boast as an independent company. As our first exclusive hotel fit out with Press Up Entertainment Group, we've relished the opportunity to showcase what we can do and to bring our client's vision to life."

RLI Global Award winners will be announced on 03 April at Universal Studios, Hollywood USA.
