Burton Moscow, Russia

Burton Moscow, Russia Burton has decided to open a Moscow branch of their Burlington Vermont-based company. Although Moscow lacks mountains, they want to gain a marketing presence within urban international centers like Moscow that have ski-clubs and a large skier/snowboarder population.

They have chosen downtown Moscow as their international hub. They will be transferring a team from Vermont in addition to hiring an internationally based sales and marketing staff. Currently they do not have office space in Moscow and are working with you as the designer and their real estate broker to find office space.

The focus of Burton’s space will be their employee workspace. They desire a workspace that reflects a flat organization, requiring only 3 private offices in the entire space. They are hoping to attract a young, vibrant marketing and sales staff and their space will be used as a marketing tool to attract top employees.
