Trinity Village, 2014-2019
64 new mixed tenure homes & Grade A office on historic estate behind Borough High Street, SE1
Located behind Borough High Street within historic estate Trinity Village, Otterlo has developed a mixed used terrace of apartment buildings built on the site of a warehouse, depot building and a former County Court. 64 homes include street level maisonettes with gardens, flats with large private terraces and communal roof terraces, including a roof garden overlooking London for both market and affordable tenures. New commercial units activate a street corner opposite a public park and Grade II listed Inner London Session House.
The design creates a triptyque of differing buildings conceived by Haworth Tompkins (Stirling Prize 2014 - Everyman Liverpool), architect behind Young Vic and the National Theatre refurbishment, responding sensitively to challenging heritage considerations. The previous County Court on the site was a locally listed building and had a significant street presence. The design of the housing that replaces it echoes many key characteristics, brick colour and dominant eaves line, to keep the contribution of its townscape features, while building new to allow for better homes.
Elements of the Crown Court, such as the decorative stonework and metalwork are incorporated into the new buildings, together with the reclaimed dressed stone from the façade. Otterlo worked with heritage consultant, Richard Coleman of City Designer, to ensure that our approach and design strategy would result in buildings that compliment the adjacent Grade II listed Trinity Church Square, Grade II listed Henry Wood Hall and Grade II listed Inner London Session House.
This development demonstrates Otterlo's ability to generate beautiful 'gentle density' modern apartment buildings amongst some of London's most sensitive and historic fabric. Providing uplifting new homes and workspaces that contribute to the well being of the occupants, visitors and passersby.

St Katharine's Precinct, 2020-2028
115 mixed tenure homes, hotel, community, workspace,
public garden, next to historic retreat, Limehouse, E14
Located adjacent to Limehouse Station and historic estate/urban retreat, the 'Royal Foundation of St Katharine', Otterlo is developing a complex of mixed used buildings built around a cloistered quadrangle. 115 new homes, expanded retreat facilities, community cafe, community hall, subsidised workspace, public gardens and a new street to be known as 'St Katharine's Walk'.
The first step on this journey was the opening of St Katharine’s Precinct. A temporary community project comprising Yurts, shipping containers and a kitchen garden. The purpose of the Precinct project is to understand how to serve the neighbourhood with new facilities and what these permanent facilities will look like. In a short time the Precinct has become extremely important to the community and popular to visitors from near and far.
The new retreat, community and workspace facilities, and public gardens will connect into and be part of the Royal Foundation of St Katharine. A charity established by Queen Matilda in 1140 that today runs an urban retreat used by a large number of prolific and niche non-profit organisations as well as individuals of all faiths.
The Foundation's expanded and new facilities, funded by the new housing above, will be centred around a cloistered quadrangle. This will join the half dozen of cloistered quadrangles in London Otterlo has discovered to date. If you know of one hidden away please share!

New Marlborough Yard, 2015-2020
274 key hotel, Southbank SE1
Nestled between Waterloo Station and Tate Modern, New Marlborough Yard off The Cut is a 174 key hotel formed around new public courtyards and a re-instated lost lane known, in the 19th Century, as Marlborough Street.
The site first came to prominence in the historical record as part of the botanical garden created by apothecary & botanist William Curtis in 1779, one of the first of its kind. William Curtis cultivated, studied and archived a wide range of exotics and British flora. Curtis attempted to collect and catalogue all flora within a ten mile radius of London.

William Curtis (1746-1799)
Otterlo, worked with Haworth Tompkins (Stirling Prize 2014 - Everyman Liverpool), architect behind Young Vic opposite the site, and landscape designer, Matthew Wigan to draw on this horticultural heritage.
New Marlborough Yard reinstates a historic lane, Marlborough Street connecting the Cut with the quieter hinterland beyond - creating two pocket parks for Southwark College students, office workers nearby, and hotel guests to enjoy calm refuge.The historic grain is expressed in the patterning within the public realm and is designed in the spirit of other ‘discoverable’ courtyards such as Ham Yard, St Christopher’s Place and Shepherd Market.
The pocket park incorporates seating, sculpture and abundant planting to offer respite and a sense of place within the hubbub of city life. Native and ornamental plants foster biodiversity throughout the scheme and a mosaic of wildflower and sedum green roofs provide a habitat for wildlife.
