Northern Beaches Architects
Striking a balance between natural beauty and suburban comfort along the expansive coastline of Sydney’s Northern Beaches.
Bespoke architectural design meets serene coastal living
Stretching from Manly to Palm Beach, the Northern Beaches architectural landscape interacts harmoniously with the timeless beauty of the Australian coastline. The region’s stunning beaches and expansive coastline with dramatic headlands make the Northern Beaches one of Sydney’s most exclusive and sought-after regions.
The architectural ethos on the Northern Beaches is defined by the seamless integration of contemporary architectural designs with the spectacular surroundings. Think expansive glass facades that capitalise on ocean views; inviting warm, natural light to blend indoor and outdoor living spaces. At Crush, we take all of that and combine it with the prominent use of natural materials and a sustainable approach to design. Each Northern Beaches architectural project we work on is designed to stand out aesthetically while remaining in balance with the natural environment.

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!
