Each site is selected with care, each collaborator chosen with purpose. Piccolo House’s lineage is not of property, but of crafting place. Every residence holds an enduring expression of restraint and refinement – shaped to sit lightly, yet connect richly within its surroundings.
“From the moment you choose a Piccolo House, we’re with you. I personally meet every buyer at the beginning of the journey, and again before settlement when I hand over your new home. It’s a gesture that speaks to something simple but rare: respect. Buying a home is one of life’s most significant investments, and I never take that trust for granted. That’s why we stay present, responsive and accountable long after the keys are handed over. Nothing is rushed, nothing is left to chance. For us, homes are not just delivered, they become lived in.”
Michael Piccolo
“When you build homes for people you become very close to them – you’re building their dream and bringing that to life. Even as we grow, I have always been determined not to lose that focus on our relationship with the Piccolo resident.”
Michael carries the Piccolo name in every way and his imprint is on every aspect of the business. Though deeply passionate about design, he also closely oversees the planning and construction processes, guiding his team toward exceptional outcomes.

Piccolo House has forged a longstanding partnership with Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, brought to life across multiple landmark projects. It’s a collaboration built on the shared pursuit of excellence. As the relationship has deepened over time, the process of steady refinement is met by an efficient flow of ideas. Together, this partnership brings a sense of cohesion and finesse, which is felt in every layer of a Piccolo House project.
Piccolo House is a Melbourne-based, family-led company with a fifty-year legacy of crafting residences defined by their timeless beauty. Led by Michael Piccolo, the team approaches each project with care, precision and deep personal investment. Piccolo House’s work is underpinned by an unwavering vision – to create homes that embody longevity, place and the rituals of daily life.
Woods Bagot is a globally renowned architecture studio known for its human-centred design and nuanced urban responses. With a deep understanding of context and a commitment to innovation, the studio brings clarity and structure to every project.

Enchanted by the building’s heritage, thoughtful design, and effortless sense of community, Rick and Jen’s story reflects what makes every Piccolo House so enduring: an exceptional location, light-filled spaces, timeless detail, and an elevated lifestyle grounded in comfort.
Piccolo House is proud to support a number of charitable initiatives, including Homes for Homes, an Australian not-for-profit dedicated to addressing homelessness through the creation of long-term, affordable housing. Since 2015, the organisation has raised funds through a simple yet effective model – a voluntary 0.1% contribution on property sales, reinvested straight into housing projects across Victoria.
Piccolo House has committed to support Homes for Homes with a contribution from the sale of each residence at its Gore Street development, specifically to deliver housing solutions within the City of Yarra.
The initiative aligns to Piccolo.House’s belief that a home is a place of stability and respite.
