What we do.
We create authentic and place-based strategy and design.
Sleepshill works from developing ideas and thought bubbles through to strategy, design, and delivery.
Sleepshill develops your project with sensitivity and experience, delivering something beautiful and wonderful.
Sleepshill untangles the complexity of how things can be made simple, to ensure outcomes are clear.
Sleepshill is an unusual firm - we don’t shy away from anything and we do not profess to have the answers straight away. We’re very comfortable in the unknowns.
That’s what makes us unique.
Urban Strategy.
Sleepshill understands the wild nature of shaping things before they become real projects. Sometimes it needs creativity and pragmatism in equal measures.
Visions, principles, objectives, understanding place, aligning polices, climate adaptation, design briefs, frameworks, manuals, shaping your project, stakeholder engagement. And we talk to people.
Urban Design.
Sleepshill specialises in this space. This is our sweet spot. We have delivered lots of these with happy clients everywhere.
Site and context analysis, urban design strategy, urban design frameworks, city shaping approaches, greening, open space planning, infrastructure, precinct and structure plan design, active transport, stakeholder engagement. And we talk to people.
Landscape Architecture.
Sleepshill began here. Our genesis. It's grounded in understanding place and context.
Site and landscape planning, landscape design, public domain design, streetscape design, park design, public space value, infrastructure, habitat and biodiverse design, planting design, detailed design, engagement. And we talk to people.
