Newtown is a suburb that needs little introduction. Known for its vibrant, rebellious street art, and bustling nightlife, Newtown epitomises the bohemian spirit of Sydney’s inner west.

From vibrant terraces to contemporary house developments, Newtown is a harmonious blend of the traditional and the new.
For our passionate team of architects and designers, Newtown is a suburb that demands deep respect. We approach each architectural undertaking in Newtown with a deep understanding of the heritage and dynamic present with the underlying aim of contributing positively to the eclectic streetscape.

Our Newtown Projects
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!
