Killing Matt Woods

Killing Matt Woods is a Sydney-based interior and building design studio renowned for its bold, sustainable, and emotionally resonant spaces. Founded and led by designer Matt Woods, the studio operates on Gadigal Country in Erskineville, New South Wales, and is celebrated for its distinctive blend of modern aesthetics with heritage sensitivity.
Matt Woods, the sole practitioner behind the studio, holds a degree in Industrial Design and postgraduate qualifications in Sustainable Design. His diverse background in manufacturing, design, and architecture informs a unique and well-resolved approach to creating engaging, forward-thinking environments that positively impact social sustainability and the planet's ecology.
The studio's portfolio spans residential, hospitality, and retail projects, characterized by a commitment to sustainability and a flair for integrating contemporary design with historical contexts. Notable works include the South/West House, a transformation of a 1930s Sydney home that honors its interwar heritage while introducing modern elements inspired by the streamline moderne style. Another project, Four Ages, showcases the studio's ability to convert a dark, poorly planned interior into a spacious, relaxed beachside retreat for a family of four.
