项目坐落于南墨尔本，由Wood Marsh建筑事务所设计，是业主Piccolo的全新总部，堪称Piccolo旗下公寓住宅的范本，彰显了其品牌文化。建筑师与业主之间的紧密合作基于相互的尊重与共同的信念，即打造前卫精致的高品质住宅。

Designed by Wood Marsh Architecture, Piccolo House is a new headquarters and benchmark development by Piccolo. The collaborative relationship established between architect and developer represents their mutual respect and shared philosophies – quality, boldness and refinement.

受到周边环境的启发，建筑师保留了场地上原有的历史建筑，并将Piccolo之家的底层与之结合起来，使建筑从周边历史环境中脱颖而出。最终建筑以简洁有序的框架结构，精细雕刻的混凝土与彩色的反光玻璃立面的形式呈现在人们眼前，以全新的方式诠释了周边建筑的砖砌色调，营造出温暖的秋日氛围。建筑整体宛如一尊石刻雕塑，框架结构为主体的建筑体量彰显出力量之美。

Emerging from its heritage legacy below, Piccolo House is spurred by its contextual considerations. Sheathed in an ordered monolith of off-form concrete, precision cut-outs are subtly angled to reveal coloured reflective glass elements that reinterpret the autumnal tones of the brickwork in the neighbouring laneway. Akin to a block of stone being carved into, the mass references the lintel as a symbol of strength providing the structural framework for the building.

作为一栋综合体建筑，Piccolo之家涵盖了零售、酒店、商业以及豪华住宅等多重功能，整体氛围和谐统一。独特的地理位置，使建筑在街道中得到了全方位的展示。此外，多卡斯街(Dorcas Street)一侧的带有维多利亚式露台的原始建筑群，经过修复与改造，现已成为了一个活跃的商业中心。这些历史建筑，在为私人商户提供栖身之地的同时，为项目增添了丰富而生动的街景，加强了项目与周边环境的联系。

As one multi-use building, the development encompasses retail, hospitality, commercial and luxury multi-residential into one unified concept. Its unique island site allows the architecture to be expressed on all sides. The original Victorian terrace building addressing Dorcas Street has been restored and reinstated as an active commerce centre contributing to the streetscape and connecting with the neighbourhood, whilst housing private tenancies within.

项目的底层沿查尔斯街(Charles Street) 的一侧，采用了锈蚀程度不一的耐候钢版作为外立面，灵感源自理查德·吉布利特（Richard Giblett）的当代大都市绘画，这种设置以建筑的语言将Piccolo之家转化为名副其实的城市艺术。当夜晚降临，光线通过穿孔的耐候钢板表面照亮街道，形成一幅光之画作，与丹·弗莱文(Dan Flavin)的艺术作品有着异曲同工之妙。此外，被照亮的查尔斯街，与过去相比，更能为人们带来安全感。

The Charles Street laneway references Richard Giblett’s paintings on the contemporary metropolis and reinterprets it into physical urban art using the materiality of Corten and various shades of steel. By night this intervention becomes illuminated, drawing similar ideas to the artwork of Dan Flavin, by painting the street surface with light. The illumination of Charles Street also creates a sense of safety through passive surveillance.

建筑的形式与人们在室内所得到的体验息息相关。由位于约翰街(John Street)的主入口进入建筑，镜面玻璃与黑色金属构成的饰面营造出强烈的仪式感。接待大厅的内部采用了带有秋日气息的镜面玻璃，呼应了建筑色彩缤纷的外观。大厅上方的四个楼层内设有一居或两居的住宅公寓，这些公寓都经过精心设计，在这里，人们可以尽赏墨尔本壮阔的城市天际线。

The architecture and interior experiences are inherently connected. Entry into the building occurs via John Street where mirrored glass and blackened metal elevate the sense of arrival. The Lobby interior mimics its colourful exterior with autumnal tones of mirrored glass. Above sits four levels of well-crafted one and two-bedroom apartments, offering clear views of Melbourne’s urban skyline.

项目的顶层则是Piccolo的豪华办公室，办公室室内采用了银色的凝灰石，进一步增强了项目的整体性，使建筑的雕塑感在室内得到了升华。Piccolo之家室内设计采用了深色的主色调，主要由深色木材，黑色与古铜色的金属构成，彰显出高品质的住宅氛围。

On the upper level, the Piccolo penthouse office reinforces the solidity of the building using silver travertine to make an appropriately elevated interior response to the overarching idea of stone being carved away. Imbued with the qualities of a high calibre residential project, the resulting palette is intentionally dark, timber, black and bronzed metal.

Wood Marsh事务所将历史、建筑、室内外空间、商业区，以及住宅巧妙地结合在一起，最终使项目完美地彰显出业主的品牌理念与商业价值。通过高品质的设计，Piccolo之家成为业主与开发商的化身，它不仅为业主提供了办公之所，同时也为建筑开发与出租产业树立了一个优秀的典范。

Effortlessly merging heritage and new, exterior and interior, commercial and residential Wood Marsh have designed a building that is a direct statement of their client’s values. Investing in longevity through commitment to quality design, Piccolo House stands as the embodiment of its developer and owner as a successful model of a progressive build-to-rent property and a new home for Piccolo’s own office.
