Inside

Entry to the renowned Otto building is via a concierge operated lobby that wouldn’t be out of place as a five-star hotel reception. There are two security pass activated entry points before you reach the front door, making the building incredibly secure.

Upon entry to the apartment, you are greeted with a sense of scale. There is a separate storage and utility room as well as WC to the left, with the main space laid out open-plan.

Emphasising the ceiling height, huge floor to ceiling sliding doors dominate the external wall, leading out onto a ground-floor terrace that overlooks and has it’s own gated access to the park.

A lounge area fits in front of one set of doors and feels homely even within the scale of the space.
The other side offers an open plan kitchen and dining area. Perfect for entertaining, the view across the space and out to the park can be enjoyed from the kitchen counter.

A wide, imposing staircase ascends to the first floor. Finished with engineered wooden steps, the same as the flooring that runs throughout, the staircase features a floor to ceiling bookshelf on one side, courtesy of “Uncommon Projects”, whose bespoke joinery features throughout.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is utilised as a study by the current owner. The space features another bespoke book case / shelving unit, spanning an entire wall.

The second bedroom features ample built in storage and, like all three bedrooms, leads out onto a terrace. This outdoor space, like the one below it, looks out on the park and is the perfect oasis of serenity, to relax and enjoy.

The principal bedroom is commodious, with enough space for seating in addition to a large bed. This room also has plenty of built in storage and features an L shaped ensuite. The ensuite has a wet room style shower with beautiful dark tiles that is accessed via a walk in wardrobe.
The family bathroom also features striking dark tiles but with contrasting grey tiles on the other wall.

The building enjoys additional facilities that include a concierge service, lobby entrance, wellness room, huge landscaped roof terrace and ample secure bike storage.
Neighbourhood & connections


At the heart of Hackney Downs is the park, which is overlooked by the Otto Building. A large and well-kept green space, it offers tennis courts, a basketball court, children’s playground, and wide open lawns — perfect for sports, dog walking, and picnics.

Hackney Downs Station is the area’s key rail hub. It offers fast and regular London Overground services to Liverpool Street (about 10 minutes), ideal for commuters and city workers. Hackney Central Station is a short walk away, expanding connectivity via the Overground to Stratford, Highbury & Islington, and westwards towards Shepherd’s Bush. There are also numerous bus routes and cycle lanes around the borough.
Close by you’ll find Hackney Downs Studios, a creative hub hosting independent businesses, artist studios, cafés, and event spaces. Great for artisan coffee, workshops, and supporting local makers. Pubs and restaurants are plentiful in the area. Our current favourites are Casa Fofo for fine dining or Uchi Bake, a Japanese bakery and sushi spot.
