Studio

Matthew Childs Design is an award-winning garden and landscape design studio based in London and Devon. We are a small, close-working team of designers having created a diverse range of exciting projects across the UK and internationally.

Our studio believes in the power of gardens to have huge benefits for mental and physical wellbeing and the starting point for all of our projects is the ethos that ‘Gardens are for people’ coined by landscape architect Thomas Church.

Our designs are tailored to each client, producing very human outdoor spaces which have a strong narrative, are a reflection of the people who use them and the surroundings in which they sit.

With the needs, aspirations, and enjoyment of people at the heart of our landscape designs we have seen first-hand how people then protect, nurture and maintain that landscape. The result is not only happy people, but a positive outcome for the environment too.

Gardens, landscapes and public spaces have an important role to play in tackling climate change and the studio is always excited about the potential our projects have to lead to positive change. We seek out as many opportunities to enhance biodiversity and create habitats for wildlife reconnecting people with nature.
