Crawford Architects

CRAWFORD ARCHITECTS is a full-service practice based in North Sydney. We are recognised for innovative and successful design solutions in the residential sector that continually benchmark industry standards, expectations and leadership. We are a multi-disciplined practice with a proven track record in the planning and design of a wide range of residential types. As a team we are recognized for our planning expertise, innovative design capabilities, accurate documentation and timely delivery of our work. We are however a family orientated work practice - with priorities for both clients and ourselves of lifestyle, learning, entertaining and changing needs. It’s about air, light, space, volumes and materials, both inside and out. This philosophy is carried through from the smallest home addition to large public buildings. The combination of these priorities, architectural elements and first principles of architecture; that is orientation and daylighting result in a more rewarding experience in whatever we create – the sculpture that we live in. EFFECTIVE DESIGN SOLUTIONS Each residential project is independently analysed and assessed, and is formulated to satisfy the culture, use, budget and building parameters established by the client. We aim to understand our clients to identify and understand their needs and objectives for making a change. One size does not fit all. A solution that worked for a previous client may not necessarily support the next. We believe that truly listening to clients and then responding to their needs - instead of our own egos - leads to inspiring and effective design. Staying on top of Building Code of Australia compliance (BCA), Local Environmental Plans (LEP) Australian Standards (AS), and OH&S issues ensure our design solutions are not only aesthetically pleasing, but answer the many statutory and ergonomic needs of each project
