• Location: 18 Barry Street, Kew, VIC
• No. of Residences: 60 
• Target Completion Date: 2027

Tucked within the leafy serenity of the prestigious Studley Park, Piccolo House - 18 Barry St, Kew reimagines apartment living as something far more personal, something closer to home.

Developed by Piccolo House and designed in collaboration with Woods Bagot, Hecker Guthrie, and Acre, this boutique collection of just 60 residences is defined by craftsmanship, connection, and care.

Across five separate pavilions, each residence has been designed with a deep respect for Kew’s heritage character and its lush, green landscape. The result is a true sanctuary of calm, further elevated with its own wellness precinct.

Right-sized living, thoughtfully designed

“This isn’t about downsizing,” says Stacey Van Harn, director of Hecker Guthrie. “It’s about right-sizing.

“Every apartment has the comfort and consideration of a standalone home, including generous spaces, a real laundry, and thoughtful storage.

“Even small touches, like a power outlet in the broom cupboard for discreet vacuum charging, make a difference.”

Three-metre ceilings, expansive landscaped terraces, and den layouts create homes that feel open, flexible, and deeply livable. Inside, Hecker Guthrie’s natural palette of travertine, whitewashed oak flooring, and porcelain tiling delivers an atmosphere of quiet luxury and enduring calm.

Hotel-style wellness

The sense of home extends beyond each front door. At the heart of Piccolo House – 18 Barry St, Kew sits a central ‘Meadow Pavilion,’ a place for wellbeing, community, and quiet retreat.

Residents can immerse themselves in a hotel-style wellness precinct complete with an indoor thermal pool, cold plunge, sauna, gym, and tranquil yoga studio. A private treatment room offers the luxury of bringing your own specialist on-site.

“We loved the idea of a wellness space that felt like a European spa,” Stacey explains.

“The gym is compact but has everything you’d need.

“Again, it’s not about scale, it’s about intention.”

Moments made for gathering

Beyond wellness, Piccolo House – 18 Barry St, Kew has been designed for connection and celebration. A subterranean wine cellar and tasting room, complete with lockable wine fridges, invites residents to share a glass among friends, while a private golf simulator suite offers a refined yet playful escape.

Entertaining is effortless with a beautifully appointed private dining room and, offering something truly unique, a private guest suite for visiting family and friends.

A discreet concierge and valet service ensures that every detail of daily life is handled with care and consideration.

Architecture in harmony with nature

From the grand porte cochère arrival to the lush landscaping by Acre, every element at Piccolo House – 18 Barry St, Kew feels anchored in nature.

As Ana Sá, principal of Woods Bagot, describes, “We talk about the buildings sitting within the landscape, not just next to it.

“There’s an image we love of a house on Barry Street being slowly overtaken by nature. It’s a beautiful thing.

“That sense of green was central to our design.”

Sustainability has also been woven into the project’s DNA. This all-electric development targets an average 7-star energy rating and integrates rooftop solar, EV charging, and rainwater harvesting for a more sustainable way of living.

A quiet address, rich in character

Quiet yet connected, Piccolo House - 18 Barry St, Kew enjoys an elevated corner position within Kew’s prized Studley Park enclave, moments from Kew Junction, surrounded by heritage homes and canopied streets. It’s a location that feels both peaceful and deeply connected to the community it belongs to.

“There are 60 apartments, but they’re spread across five smaller buildings,” explains Michael Piccolo.

“You’re only sharing your lift and entrance with around 12 neighbours. That creates a sense of privacy and intimacy.

“You can drive straight into your space and go directly up to your apartment. No long corridors or big lobbies.

“It’s all about making people feel at home.”

A developer’s promise, personally delivered

For Michael Piccolo, personal connection is the heart of every one of Piccolo House’s projects. 18 Barry St is no different.

“I personally meet every buyer from day one,” he says.

“And when their apartment is finished, I’m the one who hands over the keys. That’s been my way for 20 years. It’s about keeping that promise, from start to finish.”

Set for completion in late 2027, Piccolo House - 18 Barry St, Kew is a carefully crafted sanctuary where design, community, and wellbeing come together in perfect balance. And you can call it home.

Two- and three-bedroom residences are now selling.
