Carnival House, Corporate headquarters in Southampton, England
Carnival House is a five-story office building in Southampton with a central atrium connecting all floors. Meeting rooms throughout are decorated with maritime elements including navigational charts and seagoing imagery.
The building was designed by the architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum and opened in 2009. It was created as a consolidated headquarters for several cruise line operations.
Each floor carries the name of a sea or ocean, reflecting how the city ties its working spaces to maritime heritage. This naming choice shows how the building connects daily office life to Southampton's seafaring past.
The building serves as headquarters for several major cruise and shipping companies and is located in central Southampton. Its working areas are designed around maritime themes that reflect the city's naval heritage.
The exterior facade displays wave patterns based on real satellite data representing oceanic Rossby waves. This connection between architecture and oceanographic science is something most visitors overlook.
