Designed by SBLM Architects, the new office reflects Burlington’s evolving identity—merging operational efficiency with a fresh, contemporary environment tailored to the fast-paced, highly visual world of fashion merchandising. The entry experience was conceived as both a threshold and a statement—offering a bold, immersive introduction to the Burlington brand. A custom, highly branded mural anchors the space, combining graphic storytelling with fashion-forward visuals that speak to the company’s identity and evolution. Flanking the entry are curated showcases featuring rotating product highlights and seasonal trends, reinforcing the brand’s dynamism and buyer-driven energy. Polished finishes, layered lighting, and a carefully choreographed sequence of materials lend the space a sense of glamour and sophistication—creating a strong, memorable first impression for staff, vendors, and guests alike.

Within, the design palette was distinctly metropolitan—drawing from the textures, tones, and energy of New York City—while channeling the slickness and precision of the fashion industry Burlington operates within. SBLM selected materials and finishes that not only reflect the company’s enduring brand strength but also signal its alignment with current trends and consumer expectations. Flexibility and equity guided the interior planning strategy. SBLM introduced a hoteling model that allows staff at all levels—from executives to buyer assistants—to reserve workspaces as needed, reinforcing a culture of openness, adaptability, and mobility. In addition to hoteling stations, the design incorporates comfortable touchdown areas for visiting vendors, consultants, and cross-functional teams—creating a seamless environment for external collaboration and spontaneous engagement.
