Exploring how Piccolo House at 385 Gore Street responds to Fitzroy’s architectural character through brick, restraint and thoughtful design.
Few Melbourne suburbs offer the same relationship to landscape as Kew. Set between the Yarra River and expansive parklands, its tree-lined streets and historic homes create a neighbourhood defined as much by nature as architecture.
For Piccolo House’s Development Director Toby Earle, quality is often defined by the amount of visual clutter than can be removed in the design process. Through restraint and a relentless focus on detail, he helps ensure that each Piccolo House project feels resolved, timeless and built to last.
Collecting art is a lifetime pursuit. Which then follows that an art collection is something slowly built and shaped over time. The galleries we admire use art as an expression of community and culture, understanding how art is lived with, rather than merely something to look at.

Introducing Piccolo House, 18 Barry Street, Kew—our latest development in Melbourne’s Studley Park precinct.
We believe that exceptional communities are not stumbled upon but are thoughtfully crafted. Our approach places people and place at the heart of every design, creating spaces where daily rituals evolve into moments of belonging and where connection thrives.
At Piccolo, our designs honour the past while shaping the future. With each project, we seek to enhance the character of the neighbourhood, blending timeless craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. This philosophy is brought to life at Fitzroy House, a development that thoughtfully integrates heritage preservation with modern living.
Our design philosophy begins with a profound understanding of people and place. Each project is shaped by the lives it will house, the connections it will foster, and its dialogue with the surrounding neighbourhood.
