Tile supplier Solus Ceramics has added a touch of class to the new Be At One cocktail bar in Birmingham with the installation of its Opulence and Program floor and wall tile ranges.

Founded by bartenders Steve Locke, Rhys Oldfield and Leigh Miller, the first original Be At One Bar opened in Battersea Rise in 1998. Since then, they have created 30 bars around the UK, with Birmingham being the 31st site.

Located on Piccadilly Arcade, just outside of the newly revitalised New Street Station, Be At One is a destination cocktail bar serving over 150 drinks with an unbeatable party atmosphere in the heart of Birmingham city centre.

Fusion Design and Architecture, who have worked with the brand for eight years and developed many of the bars within the renowned chain, designed the late night venue.
Solus Ceramics were thrilled once again to collaborate with Fusion Design and Architecture and supplied a variety of unique and exciting tile ranges to the bright, bold and energetic bar.

The neutral, gloss tiles from Solus’ Opulence Range were selected in two sizes to create a chic banded pattern and were paired with a detailed complementary décor tile.
On the bar front, the designers selected a high-end, handmade hexagon tile in a serpentine-inspired emerald colour, making the focal point of the establishment really standout.

In the male bathrooms, marble-effect tiles from the Palace range were used on the walls and paired with plain grey tiles from the versatile Program range that 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.

Jonathan Richardson, Associate at Fusion Design and Architecture, said: “One of the key aspects of the brief was to implement a design aesthetic that would be timeless.

“We specified Solus Ceramics’ Opulence range not only for its aesthetic appeal, but also because of its durability. Having worked with Solus Ceramics before, we knew that, with the versatility of the tiles and the fantastic ranges of colours available, we would be able to implement the visually-appealing interior we were hoping to achieve.”
