Architects Paddington

Paddington design and architecture projects that blend historical depth with contemporary flair.

Sophistication meets urban charm amidst leafy, bustling streets

For Sydney-based architects, Paddington presents some of the most exciting architectural and design opportunities.

Paddington is one of Sydney’s most sought-after postcodes – and for good reason too. With easy access to the city, beaches, and the best of Sydney’s culinary and arts scene, there’s a lot to love about Paddo’.

For design and architecture, Paddington is a unique and distinguishable suburb rooted in heritage Victorian terraces that pay homage to the suburb’s rich history. The careful preservation of Paddington’s architectural heritage is evident throughout the leafy streets and bustling local watering holes. For residents, the history of the Paddington is a living testament to the city’s architectural evolution that has enveloped Sydney over the past half a century, offering Victorian and Georgian styles.

However, Paddington is not just residential; it’s a bustling hub of commercial activity too. Between the Saturday markets, boutique shops, and active-wear clad of the Centennial Park spill over, Paddington is bursting with activity and community. Considered an Urban Conservation Area classified by the National Trust of Australia, Paddington is one of Sydney’s most special suburbs.

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!
