Luckett & Farley provided architecture, engineering, and interior design services to renovate two floors of Texas Roadhouse’s corporate headquarters in Louisville, Kentucky. The project included offices, communal areas, meeting rooms, restrooms, training and production spaces, and mother’s rooms—all tailored to reflect the company’s spirited culture and strong sense of community.
Founder Kent Taylor championed the idea that work should be both productive and enjoyable, and he encouraged teams to help shape the space. Our team facilitated brainstorming sessions that allowed employees to influence themes and palettes, beginning with a virtual tour of national parks in Texas to root inspiration in the brand’s heritage. The result celebrated the company’s southwestern identity while supporting the energy and flexibility needed for a modern workplace.
The renovation balanced creativity with efficiency. Working within a limited footprint, programs were layered to maximize functionality. A telescoping glass wall in the main conference room allows the space to open into adjacent lounges for all-staff meetings, while private offices were placed at the core of the floorplate to free up perimeter views for open workstations. Specialized touches, like a travel department designed to evoke an airport lounge, reinforced the company’s personality.
The schedule was aggressive, with a large group of stakeholders and numerous furniture vendors involved. The project benefitted from Luckett & Farley’s multidisciplinary coordination, which established a clear schedule of milestones and streamlined collaboration with all partners. The completed renovation provides a flexible, wellness-centered environment where employees can connect, focus, and thrive in a space that truly embodies the Texas Roadhouse culture.
