Commercial Architects Sydney
HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER
Whether it’s a new retail space, a restaurant, or an office, you’ll need the expertise of a commercial architect who can represent the essential aspects of your brand and your business in a building design perfectly encapsulates your brand, and your mission.
Led by our founder and lead architect, Carlo Russo, our team of commercial architects in Sydney take in into consideration every aspect of your ideal space based on your needs - from maximising the layout for clients to achieving a comfortable (yet functional) workspace for your team. We work with commercial properties big and small - whether it’s a new commercial development in Zetland, an office fit-out in Surry Hills (hello neighbour!), a cafe in the city, or a new clinic design in the Inner West.

Ideally, your retail space feels like a home for your customers. Great customers should want to come to you, and inspired team members should want to work for you—your brand can become recognisable, assured, and embraced by the community.
That's why I've spent years gathering the best team of building designers in the industry, working together on projects for inspiring business owners like you.
We'll sit down together to discuss your vision and goals, and step by step, we'll shape the most suitable model for your Sydney commercial space. I guarantee you'll feel confident about your project. I'll handle the design and management from start to finish, taking it all off your plate.

End-to-end Project Management
We closely manage each stage of the project involving multiple stakeholders while adhering to the timeline. In all commercial projects, we keep our clients informed every step of the way.
Architectural Documentation
Developing meticulous architectural documentation for contractors to carry out construction quickly. Our commercial architects work collaboratively with contractors to ensure accurate implementation and finishes.
Feasibility Study
We conduct detailed feasibility studies, including site inspections, risk assessments, regulatory research, cost estimations, and projected timelines, to provide a clear perspective of the build and outline essential considerations for clients.
Building Typology Development
Refining the project's typology structure based on its purpose to inform design, such as the inclusion of outdoor elements, or multi-level layout considerations.
Developmental Application
We leverage connections with a network of town planners and council approval process experts to ensure full compliance with development regulations. Our team works to expedite the process to achieve a quick and seamless Developmental Approval.
Strategic Planning and Design
Working to understand the unique vision and strategic goals of the project to create a final outcome that exceeds expectations. We apply intentional architectural design to ensure that we’ve captured the initial plans perfectly.
Our Commercial Architecture Services
As specialists in sustainable architecture, we are excited to work with clients to create sustainable buildings that meet the NSW government's new sustainability standards for non-residential developments.
As of 1 October 2023, new non-residential developments exceeding $5 million in developmental cost ($10 million for changes to existing developments) must meet sustainability requirements covering water and energy efficiency, waste reduction, and net zero emissions. Our focus on sustainable design gives us an edge in commercial architecture in Sydney that meets all of these requirements while achieving each client’s goals.
Smaller commercial spaces that are not required to meet sustainability requirements can still benefit from sustainable design. We create spaces that feel more comfortable and conducive to both staff and customers while keeping energy costs to a minimum.

What are you waiting for?
Yes, we offer interior design services in addition to our commercial architecture services in Sydney.
Our interior design process involves a discussion about your brand’s vision, ideas, preferences, timeline, and budget. We will assess your commercial property, gathering any relevant documentation, property history, and local area insights. Our design team will also evaluate any heritage listing, zoning, or building code considerations.
With the nitty-gritty out of the way, now’s the time for the designing stage. Our interior designers will create the floor plan layout, sections, colour schemes, textures, style elements, materials, and finishes in line with the initial discussion. Using BIM technology, our designs will then be transferred to a 3D model, so your team will have a clear visual of our proposed interior designs. Discuss the design and make any changes your business sees fit with our interior team. Once we obtain your company’s approval, we will move on to the council approval and construction stages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer interior design services?
Yes, our commercial architects have worked across many heritage-listed buildings and properties. At Crush, we understand Sydney’s rich history and aim to encapsulate its unique charm and character in all our heritage-listed projects. Using subtle modern amenities and technologies for comfort and functional business operations, we create cohesion between the old and new.
Do you work on heritage-listed buildings?
Our commercial architects Sydney services typically range between 10 to 15% of the construction costs. This is the industry average; however, it is also dependent on each project.
Our pricing is split into two phases: 5% for the concept design and Development Application (DA), and another 5% for the construction phase. Additional services, such as interior design, will increase the price of our services.
What is the pricing for commercial architects Sydney services?
