Architectural details unveiled on Piccolo House by Woods Bagot

Designed by Woods Bagot with interiors by Hecker Guthrie, Gore Street marks the third collaboration with the design-led developer, with practical completion anticipated mid-2025.

Construction progress is swiftly advancing on Gore Street, the next residence by Melbourne boutique developer Piccolo, with bespoke architectural details coming to light. 

“After months of careful craftsmanship, Piccolo House – Gore St, Fitzroy is stepping into the light,” writes Piccolo. 

“With scaffolding and protective netting now being removed, the architectural vision that has been taking shape can finally be revealed.”

Comprising 49 two- and three-bedroom homes, the development is designed to cater to downsizers looking to live close to the city without having to compromise on authentic local character and generous amenity.

Piccolo, a long-time Woods Bagot collaboration partner, is a family-run business of 50 years, specialising in the curation of bespoke homes that champion the values of craftsmanship, longevity, and user wellbeing.

Scaffolding has now been removed from the exterior of the development, revealing the exquisite architectural details that have been carefully crafted behind the scenes.

Gore Street has been conceived as a collection of residences with integrated landscape that create a sequestered oasis within a metropolitan setting. Built form and voids interplay with breezeways and hit-and-miss brickwork, creating a porous, light-flooded and biophilic residential development.

Inside, as well as out, every design element has been meticulously crafted to reflect Piccolo’s commitment to quality and longevity. As the final touches are applied to the façade, works are steadily progressing on the interiors, meticulously curated by local designers Hecker Guthrie.

Passers-by can now appreciate the striking redbrick facade, with handcrafted bricks sourced from Germany, adding texture, warmth and authenticity to its Fitzroy context.

“Fitzroy is Melbourne’s oldest neighbourhood, characterised by Victorian architecture, vibrant eclecticism, and a bohemian sensibility,” says Woods Bagot Director Peter Miglis.

“Gore Street is a deeply sympathetic development, with form and materiality that insinuate seamlessly with the urban fabric. Details in the form – like the concrete corbels and  reflect the historic embellishments of the neighbouring terraces, and continue Fitzroy’s legacy of craftsmanship and timeless design.”
