Description
Opened in April 2016, Be At One Birmingham, is the newest venue in the brand's ever growing portfolio, and features a surprising variety of products from Solus. Founded by bartenders Steve Locke, Rhys Oldfield and Leigh Miller, the first Be At One opened in Battersea Rise in 1998 and they have since created 30 bars, with Birmingham being the 31st site and the 12th outside of London.
Tiles Used
Tiles from Palace, Glass Source and Program range were used in the bathrooms. In the main bar two tiles from the Opulence range were used.
Outcome
Located on Piccadilly Arcade just outside of the newly revitalised New Street Station, Be At One is a destination cocktail bar bringing over 150 drinks and an unbeatable party atmosphere to Birmingham city centre.
Solus were thrilled to once again collaborate with Fusion Design and Architecture, and supplied a variety of exciting and interesting products to the bright, bold and energetic bar. The venue, which is situated at basement level, features a vast quantity of traditional style wall tiles from the Opulence range.
The neutral, gloss tiles were selected in two sizes to create a chic banded pattern, and were paired with a detailed, complementary decor tile. The neutral hue of the tiles provide a wonderful canvas for the complex mood lighting, which changes periodically. On the bar front, the designers selected a high–end, hand made hexagon tile in a serpentine inspired emerald colour.
In the male bathrooms, marble effect tiles from the Palace range were used on the walls and were paired with plain grey tiles from the versatile Program range, which were laid in a herringbone pattern. Solid grey, glass mosaics from the Glass Source range completed the space. Featuring similar wall and floor tiles to the adjacent male bathrooms, the female bathrooms were given a blush of colour with a pink mosaic.
