Architect/Designer: Woods Bagot (architecture), Hecker Guthrie (interiors) + Acre (landscape) 2025

Description

In Fitzroy’s leafy heart, Piccolo House at 385 Gore Street seamlessly integrates architecture, landscape and interiors through materiality and character to deliver a residential project of 49 generous residences and associated communal areas. A collaboration between Piccolo House, Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, the project responds with restraint, generosity and clarity to its inner-north context. 

Tucked into a tree-lined, red-brick pocket of Fitzroy, the project draws on the rhythm of heritage terraces, the grit of former industrial buildings and the intimacy of laneways to shape something contextual, confident and enduring. The building form is grounded and balanced, layered in robust materials that will soften and patinate over time. 

Landscaping is woven throughout, softening the architecture and strengthening its connection to the street. Generous balconies and carefully considered communal spaces extend living beyond the apartment footprint, while interiors express a soft minimalism through tactile finishes of oak, terrazzo and brushed nickel and blacked steel. These are spaces designed to hold both light and life within a distinctly Fitzroy setting.

What's On

Join us on a curated tour of the buildings' common areas and through a selection of available residences. Guests will be escorted in small groups through the common areas and apartments. This format ensures a relaxed experience while respecting building security and residentsʼ privacy.
