Fresh meat, fresh produce and fresh flowers now sit side by side in Upper Mount Gravatt. Brisbane Butchers & Market Co. and Jannah Floristry have opened as two new businesses under one roof, in a vibrant dual-concept fitout by NV Design Agency and Element Shopfitting.
At the heart of the design is our Heritage Amias encaustic-look tile. Used across the internal bulkheads and entrance zone, it's the statement piece that links two distinct brands into one cohesive space.
The Project: Two businesses, One Roof
This is a dual-concept fitout. On one side is Brisbane Butchers & Market Co. (@brisbanebutchersmarketco), selling fresh meat and produce. On the other is Jannah Floristry (@jannahfloristry), with fresh flowers, gifts and homewares.
The brief was a tricky one: give each business its own clear identity while making the whole space feel like it belongs together. Nancy at NV Design Agency (@nvdesignagency) answered it with warm timber, bold patterned finishes and refined detailing. Element Shopfitting (@element_shopfitting) brought the design to life.
Why Heritage Amias was The Right Fit
Both businesses are about freshness: quality meat and produce on one side, just-cut blooms on the other. Heritage Amias speaks to both. Its large starburst motifs read almost like flower heads, while the warm terracotta tones sit naturally alongside fresh cuts and market produce.
The palette does the rest. Terracotta, soft grey, charcoal and a touch of ochre on a cream base give the space a market-hall warmth without feeling busy. The geometric pattern also nods to the Moroccan and Middle Eastern tile traditions that suit a halal butcher, carrying real cultural character rather than generic decoration.
A Statement Entrance
Rather than tiling every surface, the team used Heritage Amias where it would work hardest: the entrance. Wrapping the bulkhead above the long run of display fridges turns a purely practical element into a feature band. It frames the glass doors and draws the eye along the length of the store.
At the entrance, the tile becomes the backdrop for the BBMC brass monogram and its tagline, "Where Quality Comes First". The repeating pattern gives the logo a rich, textured canvas, and the matt finish keeps glare down so the brass can shine.
Balancing Bold Pattern with Warm, Calm Finishes
A pattern this lively needs quieter partners, and the supporting palette is carefully restrained. Black framing around the fridges and bulkheads gives the tile a crisp edge. Brass lettering and signage pick up the ochre in the pattern.
On the Jannah Floristry side, the mood softens. Sage green walls, chevron timber panelling, walnut shelving and a speckled stone counter create a calm setting for flowers and gifts. The tiled column at the edge of the florist keeps a thread of the pattern running between the two zones, so the store reads as one space with two personalities.
Get the Look
The tile used throughout is our Heritage Amias Encaustic Look 200x200 Matt Tile. Part of our retro-inspired Heritage series, it captures the charm of traditional encaustic cement tiles in an easy-care ceramic.
A few tips if you're planning your own statement wall:
- Pick one hero zone. Like this project, a bulkhead, entry wall or splashback often has more impact than tiling everywhere.
- Frame it. Black or dark trims give a busy pattern a clean, finished edge.
- Keep the rest calm. Timber, plain walls and one metallic accent let the tile lead.
- Check slip ratings for floors. Heritage is not slip rated, so it suits walls and dry interior floors best. Commercial floors should meet the required rating for the space.
- Order a sample and allow 15% extra for cuts and spares from the same batch.
