To say that Sydney’s Inner West has been through a cultural renaissance over the past two decades would be a gross understatement. Once seen as Sydney’s grunge capital, the Inner West has rapidly evolved into the heartland of Sydney’s Arts, Culinary, and Design scene.
From the family-first charm of suburbs like Annandale and Rozelle to the inner-city convenience of Darlington, Newtown, and Glebe, the Inner West is nothing if not eclectic. The area is a melting pot of design from the Victorian and Edwardian structures of Annandale to the workers cottages of Lilyfield and Balmain. For our team of Inner West heritage architects, each project is about preserving the unique local lineage, whilst creating modern and effortlessly liveable and joyful spaces.

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.

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!
