Reflective of a design philosophy intent on communicating more than just surface aesthetics, Melbourne-based architects Paul Hecker and Hamish Guthrie are well-known for creating dynamic contemporary spaces that sit comfortably with a building’s original qualities.

Many Little
THE CLUE to the decorating approach at Many Little, a bar and bistro in the Polperro winery in Victoria’s Red Hill, lies in the name itself. Originating from the Cornish saying “Many a little makes a mickle”, it translates as “many small things make something great”. And a conversation with Hamish Guthrie, principal at Hecker Guthrie, the design practice responsible for the interior scheme, deconstructs the elements to illustrate just how it is done
