Specialist architecture services for Sydney’s heritage listed real estate landmarks

Preserving Sydney’s Rich Architectural Heritage

Architecture plays a key role in linking past, present, and future. For heritage-listed properties, it’s about linking the architectural lineage that has got us to this point, with the modern comfortability that we demand. Our design principles pay respect to the stories and craftmanship of the past.

With a nod to the past, we strive to introduce modern amenities and design concepts to create a functionally sound and sustainable outcome that continues this legacy into the future.

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!
