From across the harbour and beyond up to Wahroonga, Sydney’s North Shore features sparser spaces of housing and commercial areas, yet retains all the comforts and conveniences of city living. With pockets of greenery spread throughout the region, the North Shore presents architectural styles that take advantage of larger spaces, from master-planned shopping districts to modern houses.
The region is split between upper and lower halves, each with its own distinct appeal. The upper north shore has an idyllic landscape that makes it ripe for development, while the lower north shore showcases a more urban and established environment. When it comes to architectural designs on Sydney’s North Shore, our team takes every aspect of the area’s surroundings into consideration to create a space that truly shines.

Carlo is insanely talented and just an overall nice person!
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!
Having personally worked with Carlo from Crush Architecture, I highly recommend him. He is very understanding to his clients needs , passionate about design and very knowledgeable regarding local council approvals. Great to work with!
