Inside


The sense of space is immediate. Double-height ceilings and expansive floor-to-ceiling glazing flood the main living space with natural light, creating an atmosphere rarely found this close to Central London.

Designed around modern living, the open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space feels effortlessly sociable. A sleek kitchen with breakfast bar anchors the room, while generous proportions make it equally suited to entertaining on a large scale or quieter evenings at home. A guest cloakroom, separate utility/laundry room and excellent built-in storage complete the ground floor.

An elegant staircase leads to the upper level, where the layout has been thoughtfully designed to adapt as life changes.

The principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite bathroom, accompanied by a separate family bathroom. Two further rooms provide genuine flexibility; ideal as additional bedrooms, a guest suite with a second reception, or a dedicated home office. Each opens directly onto a generous balcony overlooking Hackney Downs, creating a seamless connection between inside and out.
Residents of The Otto enjoy an exceptional collection of amenities, including a concierge, residents' gym and wellness suite, stylish residents' lounge, communal roof terrace, secure underground bicycle storage and allocated parking, all within an immaculately managed building.
