Founded under the W15 Collection by Hardy Jamaldeen, Headquarters by W15 was built on a clear idea:
Bring Colombo’s street culture to a refined rooftop setting.
Inspired by Pettah’s chaotic charm and Galle Face’s coastal rhythm, the space blends:
“We wanted a space that feels both local and global,” Jamaldeen shares.
That vision has since earned global recognition including praise from Condé Nast Traveller.
