What Sheldon does

Sheldon Interiors is a privately held Australian design and fitout studio founded in 1989, headquartered in Sydney with additional offices in Brisbane and Melbourne and an in-house manufacturing facility on the Central Coast at Somersby. The company provides turn-key office fitout services to enterprise, government and commercial property developer clients across the commercial, government, technology, finance, health and industrial sectors, with a documented project portfolio of thousands of workplaces delivered over 35+ years.

Its core offering is delivered through six integrated internal divisions: Workplace Strategy, Interior Design, Construction (including partitioning), Furniture Manufacturing, Electrical & Mechanical (including AV integration), and Technology. The in-house Somersby manufacturing facility produces custom joinery, workstations, kitchen units and planter boxes, supporting a "Circular Workplaces" sustainability practice and enabling vertical integration that few pure-play design firms or general contractors match. The firm is ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 certified, is a GBCA member and holds FSC certification.

Commercially, Sheldon operates a project-based revenue model: one-time fees on design-and-construct engagements, sourced through direct enterprise field sales, government procurement, and — distinctively — partnerships with commercial property developers and building owners for speculative office suites (with named repeat clients including Keppel, Kador Group, Artifex and JLL/Active Super). Distribution is single-country (Australia), and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is founder-led, with Peter Law as CEO, Founder and Principal, and has no disclosed institutional investment, M&A activity, or funding rounds.
