Hecker Guthrie

As featured in last weekend’s Domain, Piccolo House - 18 Barry St, Kew, is a reflection of our commitment to creating residences that strike a delicate balance, respecting prestigious heritage homes while presenting a fresh and considered addition to the streetscape. For our latest iteration at 18 Barry St, Kew we embraced the challenge of its prestigious location by focusing on a design that contributes to, rather than dominates, the streetscape. Creating homes that feel private and serene while connected to the wider community. In our fourth collaboration with Woods Bagot and Hecker Guthrie, we've envisioned Piccolo House as a series of small-scale pavilions. Each rigorously positioned to maximise light, outlook and privacy. A key driver has been catering to the lifestyles of our residents, leading to our most extensive offering of shared spaces yet. The project integrates a comprehensive wellness area featuring an indoor thermal pool, a sauna, a cold plunge, alongside a golf simulator and a 16-seater private dining room and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. It’s a place where privacy is protected, and shared spaces encourage gentle interaction without obligation.

Our director Stacey Van Harn is looking forward to showing Women in Property members through Mirvac’s LIV Aston BTR project on Tuesday.

We’re proud to share that The StandardX Melbourne has been named Hotel of the Year at the 2025 Australasia-Pacific Hotel Design Awards. This recognition speaks to the strength of a shared vision and the energy that emerges when global ambition meets local culture. The design called for both confidence and deep contextual understanding. Working in close collaboration with Standard International’s design team, led by Verena Haller, and architects Woods Bagot, we set out to craft a hotel that channels Fitzroy’s raw edge and creative spirit, realised through texture, contrast and the contribution of exceptional local makers. Our deepest thanks to the local makers and artists who brought our vision to life - Charles Sandford Woodturning, Volker Haug, Adam Goodrum, Sarah Parkes, Dean Norton, Jordan Fleming and many more. And to our client, thank you for trusting us to shape this new brand with boldness and intent. We’re honoured by the recognition, and proud of our team for delivering a project that speaks so clearly to place. Congratulations to all the award winners, and thank you to Design Inn for championing narrative-led design and its role in defining the next generation of hospitality experiences. #HeckerGuthrie #TheStandardX #AustralasiaPacificHotelDesignAwards #HotelDesign #InteriorArchitecture #DesignExcellence #NarrativeLedDesign #Fitzroy
