Piccolo kick off construction at A Piccolo House, Gore Street in Fitzroy following strong sales
Boutique property developer Piccolo has kicked off construction at their innovative Fitzroy apartment development, A Piccolo House – Gore Street.
The family-owned company has sold 70 per cent of the 49 apartments at 385 Gore Street since kicking off the campaign five months ago.
Piccolo Managing Director Michael Piccolo said the site at 385 Gore Street was impossible to overlook, knowing the large 1874 sqm block would accommodate a collection of generously sized homes catering to those wishing to downsize and live nearer the city without compromising on space.
The design was born from the local architecture on Gore Street.
Woods Bagot Principal Peter Miglis says the project is surrounded by quite an eclectic combination of spaces – industrial buildings, Victorian terrace homes, local cafes and restaurants and stunning tree-lined streets
Stacey Van Harn, Director at Hecker Guthrie said throughout the design process they leant towards honest materiality, selecting organic, high-quality materials that are practical, durable and develop a beautiful natural patina as they age.
“By incorporating the earthy natural tones of highly tactile materials, we can capture the gritty nature of Fitzroy whilst bringing an element of refinement and finesse that befits a luxury home.”
Residents will also have access to a communal dining room, guest suite, and workshop space, which they will be able to book through the building’s lifestyle concierge service.
