Otto House: Where Creativity, Community & Sustainability Thrive
Our journey began in 2011 with a modest 30-square-metre shop, Otto T-Shirt Printing. Armed with DIY printing machines and countless questions, we set out with a commitment to sustainability and high-quality craftsmanship, helping our customers launch their start-ups and grow their brands.
By 2019, we had outgrown our humble beginnings and transformed into "Otto House." With a vision for a more connected and collaborative approach, we created a space where customers could engage with us face-to-face over coffee, sparking conversations and fostering a sense of community. This vision led to the establishment of an independent coffee shop within Otto House—a welcoming haven for coffee enthusiasts and creative minds and the first step in building a vibrant creative hub.
As our space evolved, so did our offerings. We began hosting events, securing a full alcohol licence to elevate the experience and soon expanded into creating our clothing line, Otto House Apparel, which reflects our expertise, passion, and dedication to timeless design.
In 2023, we took our love for coffee to the next level by embracing coffee roasting. Aligned with the “Third Wave” coffee movement, we prioritise speciality coffee, sustainability, and supporting fair trade practices that ensure better living conditions for coffee farmers.
Today, Otto House is an innovative business rooted in creativity, community, and sustainability. From helping brands grow to serving some of the finest coffee in town, everything we do is driven by a passion for quality, connection, and purpose.
