Tommy Bahama HQ
When Tommy Bahama doubled its workforce, the headquarters had to grow without becoming more corporate in the process.
SkB Architects organized the 120,000 square foot workplace around a central boardwalk that connects reception, showrooms, workspaces, and informal gathering areas across four floors. Four story glazed light monitors bring daylight deep into the building and create visual connections to the market hall below, helping people see activity beyond their immediate team. Project rooms and customized workstations support the creative work behind the brand, while a central café and roof deck give people reasons to cross paths throughout the day. Natural materials and rich textures carry Tommy Bahama’s relaxed character into the workplace without turning the office into a literal expression of the brand.
