Award-Winning Architects Bondi
Contemporary design with a focus on preserving Bondi’s rich heritage and architectural charm.
Arguably the most recognisable suburb in Australia, Bondi is home to one of the most visited beaches in the world. Peek beyond the beach and jaw-dropping coastline and you’ll find one of the most eclectic and liveable postcodes in Sydney. Whether the beach is a drawcard of just a nice addition, Bondi offers an abundance of dining and entertainment options that means you may never need to leave – just ask the locals.
For our team of designers and Bondi architects, the suburb is full of intrigue and possibility. From the contemporary, to the art deco and red-brick homes that trace their roots back to one of Sydney’s oldest and proudest beachside communities, Bondi is an architectural icon.
For our team of designers, we tackle a range of commercial and residential architecture projects in Bondi with a diverse range of clientele. Across those distinctly unique projects, we are committed to learning about the unique vision of each client to turn an idea into a reality.

I engaged Crush Architecture for my development project, and Carlo and his team were fantastic. They were able to understand my vision and needs, and created a design that perfectly captured the intangible qualities that were important to me. Their innovative solutions, particularly in energy efficiency, were also a standout point - Carlo's expertise helped us find the ideal solution for our project.
Highly recommended!

I’ve known Carlo Russo for quite a while.
When I finally found the site for our new restaurant I didn’t hesitate to contact him immediately, to come up with the best usage of space possible and make sure to still have an interesting design.
Carlo, as expected, came up with the perfect project, the attention to details has been impressive.
His firm looked after every single step of the journey and dealt with all the bureaucracy.
Very happy with the final result and looking forward to our next site!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need developmental approval for a residential project in Bondi?
In most cases, developmental approval (DA) is required for a residential project in Bondi. As your architectural team, we will apply for all required approvals to the Waverly Council on your behalf, prior to commencing any building or work on your site. We will ensure that every step of the proposal for developmental approval (DA) is completed correctly to avoid any fines or delays.
While we can ensure your DA and other necessary documents are lodged within our agreed timeline, the council may require more complex projects to provide additional information, which can take longer to approve.
