In Fitzroy’s leafy heart, Piccolo House – 385 Gore St, brings together architecture, materiality and character to deliver a residential project grounded in its setting and elevated in its intent.
Gore St. Fitzroy is a study in urban nuance, a collaboration between Piccolo House, Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie that responds with restraint, generosity and clarity to its inner-north setting. Tucked into a tree-lined, red-brick pocket of Fitzroy, the project draws on the character of its surroundings – the rhythm of heritage terraces, the grit of
buildings, the intimacy of laneways – to shape something industrial confident and enduring.
The building form is grounded and balanced, layered in robust materials that will soften over time. The interiors express soft minimalism through tactile finishes of oak, terrazzo and brushed metal. These are spaces intended to hold both light and life.
“The design is driven by the people that will live in and around 385 Gore Street. We started by thinking about the lifestyle of the people in the area, and what they want out of their home, and then the rest of the design naturally evolved from that point. We want 385 Gore Street to enrich the lives of our residents and add value to the neighbourhood of Fitzroy.”
Michael Piccolo
A series of landscaped moments blur the edge between home and garden, culminating in a secluded central courtyard and planter-lined balconies that bring seasonality and softness.
Gore St. Fitzroy is a thoughtful response to how people live – generous in scale, established in experience and designed to evolve. With communal spaces, a concierge, and a philanthropic partnership with Homes for Homes, it reflects Piccolo.House’s belief that design should always consider the people.
