Our architects partner with local councils in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs to carefully navigate design briefs and create spaces that promote community values and encourage connection through space.

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!

Carlo did really an awesome job!
He transformed completely my loft, with many brillant ideas. From custom made furniture, to a new mezzanine. He understood immediately my needs and took care of every detail of the project. A blend of Italian Style and industrial design.
I would definetely recommend Crush Studio!

What is the process?


The process begins with an initial consultation - during this consultation, we will discuss the vision and goals for the build. We’ll then conduct a feasibility study to identify any limitations and opportunities for design and construction. 

The next step is to create architectural designs through concept sketches and 3D modelling software to give clients a look into floor plan, layout, building materials, and fixtures. Once we’ve nailed the structure of the project, we’ll move on to construction and ensuring that the interior design is perfectly aligned with the chosen concept. 

We’ll handle the necessary documentation to obtain building approval and oversee the project from start to end, whether it’s a new build, retrofit, or renovation. 



The timeline for developmental approval (DA) from Randwick City Council or other local councils will depend on factors such as the extent of the renovation or building work involved, as well as the presence of complex issues such as environmental or heritage building regulations. The council will generally provide information on the progress of the DA application approximately 3-4 weeks after the application. 

Crush Architecture has extensive experience applying for developmental approval on behalf of our eastern suburbs clients.
