Expanding with Identity
To support a merger-driven expansion, Sheldon partnered with Experian to deliver a new 1,300m² workplace in Melbourne’s Southbank. Influenced by the recently completed Sydney office, the design balances brand continuity with adaptability and sustainability, while also responding to Melbourne’s distinct character.
By reimagining much of the existing built form, joinery and furniture, and layering in new finishes, bespoke elements and tailored lighting, the fitout delivers a refined yet engaging environment. Collaborative zones, wellness spaces, hot-desking areas and quiet rooms all work together to support hybrid working, staff wellbeing and future growth—embodying Experian’s identity in a space designed for today and tomorrow.
Experience that Counts
Sheldon’s collaboration with Experian on the Southbank workplace marks the fourth successful fitout undertaken for the client. This long-standing relationship allowed Sheldon to fully understand Experian’s evolving needs, particularly following a company merger that required a larger, more versatile office.
The project was secured through a combination of proven expertise, insight into the brand, and early-stage advisory support that helped shape the brief. By translating this understanding into a practical and visually engaging design, Sheldon reinforced trust and delivered a fitout that met both operational requirements and Experian’s high standards.
Future-Proofing Through Collaboration
Experian’s Southbank workplace was designed with the future firmly in mind. Sustainability played a central role, with 84 task chairs, 16 meeting chairs, and 78 sit-to-stand workstation frames all repurposed with new tops and finishes, alongside extensive reuse of existing joinery. Modular joinery and adaptable layouts further extend the fitout’s lifespan, ensuring the space can evolve as Experian’s needs change.
Delivered on a fast-tracked seven-and-a-half-week program, the project also showcased Sheldon’s collaborative strength, with design, construction, and project management teams working to resolve various challenges such as the poor condition of the existing concrete slabs. Longstanding Sheldon initiatives in sustainable construction also contributed to the fast turnaround, ultimately enabling the delivery of a brand-aligned workplace ready to support Experian’s future growth.
