The interior concept draws inspiration from Sydney’s natural landscape and reflects a commitment to cultural storytelling through its design. A soft, contemporary palette of blues and neutral tones is layered with lush greenery and First Nations art. The workplace features suspended planters, modular banquette seating, and a standout feature rug by Wiradjuri artist Cara Shields. Custom acoustic panels and glazed decals integrate the agency’s Reconciliation Action Plan artwork throughout the space, grounding the fitout in a deep respect for cultural heritage. These layered elements invite users into a workplace that feels vibrant, and meaningfully connected to Country.

Aligned with government targets and Codesign + Sheldon’s own commitment to sustainability, this project once again emphasised environmental performance and the reuse of materials. Furniture from the previous office was carefully incorporated into the new design, alongside the use of added modular joinery to enhance long-term flexibility. Close collaboration between internal divisions controlled the selection of sustainable finishes, minimised waste through careful planning, and facilitated the integration of AV/IT and security systems.
