Promising the perfect blend of location and lifestyle, the residences at Piccolo House are infused with thoughtful design and exclusive concierge and premium lifestyle amenities.
Kew, a suburb renowned for its lush parks, excellent schools and elegant homes, has long been one of the most sought-after areas in Melbourne.
As a result, the median house price in Kew now stands at an impressive $2.6 million according to realestate.com.au data.
Amid these buoyant conditions, this tightly held suburb is undergoing a real estate transformation and being made more accessible to buyers with prestigious new developments.
The latest to hit the market in prime position is Piccolo House[1], which promises not only entry to the tightly held area, but truly elevated homes with stunning luxury design.
Piccolo House is a collection of luxury residences in one of Melbourne’s most sought-after suburbs.
Something unique
Created in collaboration with leading design firms Woods Bagot, Hecker Guthrie, and Acre, Piccolo House gives a nod to Kew’s architectural heritage while embracing modern living.
Nestled on a serene, tree-lined street, the design draws inspiration from the green expanses of nearby Studley Park and the suburb’s mid-century architecture.
“The architecture, by Woods Bagot, breaks down the building into five sculptural pavilions—allowing for dual or triple aspects, natural cross-ventilation and considered outlooks,” explains Michael Piccolo, Managing Director.
There are 60 residences housed across the boutique buildings, each carefully designed.
Much thought has also been put into the amenities with residents able to indulge in exclusive wellness features, including an indoor thermal pool, a cold plunge, a sauna, a fully equipped gym, and a dedicated yoga room.
Mr Piccolo says the amenities are not merely luxurious but also planned to foster a sense of community and well-being.
The development also caters to social interactions with private dining and lounge spaces, ideal for hosting gatherings of up to 15 guests.
For golf enthusiasts, there’s a sophisticated golf simulator within a private suite, perfect for entertaining friends.
There’s also a concierge service, a grand entrance featuring a six-metre driveway with a porte cochère valet bay.
The design is complimented with lush landscaping by Acre, which preserves mature trees and incorporates larger plant stock and gentle grass slopes.
Combining modern amenities with heritage-inspire design, Piccolo House is a stand-out for discerning buyers.
A sanctuary to call home
Each individual residence at Piccolo House has been designed to be a sanctuary with awe-inspiring features.
“These are generously proportioned residences designed with longevity, privacy, and elegance in mind,” shares Mr Piccolo.
“From the earliest design discussions, we set out to deliver a new benchmark for apartment living—with three-metre-high ceilings, expansive terraces, natural light in every room, and layouts that adapt to the needs of our residents over time.”
Hecker Guthrie’s interior design complements this vision, utilising soft oak, vein-cut travertine, natural stone, and textural porcelain to create spaces that embody quiet, enduring luxury.
“These are not trend-driven spaces; they’re homes with permanence”, explains Mr Piccolo.
“These homes are particularly well-suited to discerning downsizers and design-conscious homeowners who value both sophistication and comfort.”
Craftsmanship is central to the entire design, and each residence boasts feature dual or triple aspects for cross-ventilation and carefully framed vistas of the gardens or sky.
For wine enthusiasts, a subterranean wine cellar and tasting room, complete with lockable wine fridges, are available.
The kitchens form the heart of the home adorned with travertine surfaces and natural material finishes curated by Hecker Guthrie.
“Every element is resolved to the finest detail, balancing design with enduring functionality,” adds Mr Piccolo.

Location, location, location
One of the most compelling aspects of Piccolo House is its strategic location at 18 Barry St in Kew.
“It offers the kind of location that makes everyday living seamless,” shares Mr Piccolo.
“Only 400m from the local shopping strip, residents can enjoy easy access to cafés, grocers, boutiques, and daily essentials.
“It’s close to some of Melbourne’s finest schools and healthcare services, with nearby parklands including Yarra Bend Park offering a natural escape.”
It is also situated near the iconic Studley Park precinct and nearby Yarra Bend, which both provide an ideal backdrop for those seeking green areas to unwind.
Mr Piccolo explains that in a suburb known for its charm and elegance, Piccolo House is reshaping Kew’s real estate landscape, one thoughtful detail at a time.
“At Piccolo, our goal is not just to meet expectations, but to exceed them—delivering homes that are as enduring as they are beautiful,” he says.
