What a gem! DSK’s interior design for Orelle featured in GS Magazine

Orelle, the most highly anticipated restaurant, café and bar in Birmingham, is featured in GS Magazine, one of the UK’s leading titles for prestige designers, architects and suppliers in the hospitality market. Satellite MPR were thrilled to be able to introduce this gem of a restaurant in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter to the media marketplace.

Designed by Doone Silver Kerr (now incorporated into Ryder Architecture), Orelle is located on the top floor of 103 Colmore Row. Recently described as “one of the coolest addresses in Birmingham”, the building is also one of the city’s tallest and the Orelle restaurant is set against a backdrop of unrivalled, 360-degree panoramic views across the city and beyond, making it a unique addition to Birmingham’s food and drink scene.

Orelle is the first venture in the Midlands for hospitality group, D&D London, joining its portfolio of more than 40 diverse restaurants, bars and a hotel in the UK, Paris and New York.

Architecturally, the restaurant crowns the building, its double-height creating a lantern at night that can be seen right across the city – a true landmark for Birmingham.

The interior design for the 3,767sq ft restaurant takes inspiration from both the banking heritage of the site and its close proximity to the historic Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham, just to the north of the building. 103 Colmore Row was formerly the site of the National Westminster House, designed by John Madin. The original building included cast-aluminium banking hall doors, designed by English artist Henry Haig consisting of an abstract triangular design based on the NatWest logo.
