Workplace Design & Construction
CoDesign + Sheldon provides corporate, not-for-profit, and government clients with a seamless office fitout experience, backed by the highest levels of Quality and Safety accreditations. We’re committed to Australian manufacturing and Indigenous participation and leadership. We create workplaces that encourage sustainability through their design and construction, and fund Indigenous-led land regeneration initiatives through our profits.
Rethinking Workplace Design & Construction
Our mission is to reduce the environmental impact of office fitouts through future-proofed and adaptable workplace strategies. We prioritise a sustainable design approach and the selection of responsible materials including natural stone, FSC-accredited timber and energy-efficient electrical, appliances and lighting. We focus on regional Australian furniture-making and reduce waste by choosing biodegradable, reused or recycled options where possible.
