Lane Cove is a lush suburban alcove on Sydney’s Lower North Shore with a family-friendly atmosphere. Tranquil living is the main appeal of Lane Cove— the suburb’s quiet streets and the local Lane Cove Bushland Park give residents ample opportunities for recreation, whether it's hiking along carved paths or cycling along biking trails.
Lane Cove features a mix of older freestanding houses that sit in sleepy suburban areas, as well as newer apartment developments that have started to line major roads. The North end of Lane Cove presents a busier side to the area, with boutique shops, cafés and restaurants lining the streets. As architects in Lane Cove, our expertise lies in creating residential and commercial projects that reflect the lush atmosphere of the suburb.
Residents: 39,438
Dwellings: 17,320
Architectural Style: Traditional Federation homes mixed with sleek contemporary builds. Older homes sit on large blocks of land that offer big opportunities for bespoke teardown rebuilds.

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!
