The Orangery Village

The Orangery Village is the redevelopment of a beloved building located on Homberg Drive in Knoxville’s Bearden area.The name is derived from the original tenant, The Orangery, a local restaurant, event venue, and favorite since its opening in 1971.
Under new ownership in 2016, extensive interior structural renovations were undertaken, enlarging individual tenant spaces and providing exterior storefronts to enhance accessibility. These structural changes created a more spacious and interconnected environment, with four large tenant spaces boasting direct exterior access.

A charming promenade, embellished with a stamped asphalt paving pattern, guides pedestrians and slows vehicular traffic. The pattern and colors were inspired by historic streetscapes, with an inlay bearing the development’s new name at the center of the aisle.
On the building facade, efforts were made to maintain many elements of the original French-inspired design. The original finish was revitalized with a fresh color palette and entries were reconfigured to allow for larger storefronts. New wood framed windows were added to the elevation facing Homberg and Kingston Pike to create a warmer, more inviting face to the primary street.
The Orangery Village is now home to Monkee’s of Knoxville, Bistro by the Tracks, Gather, and CycleBar.
