“Set high within one of Hackney’s most celebrated Modernist buildings, this beautifully understated three-bedroom apartment enjoys far-reaching views, a sculptural curved balcony and access to the private gardens of Fassett Square.”
Occupying the third floor of Grade II-listed Bruno Court, this wonderfully light apartment extends to approximately 1,028 sq ft and offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous proportions and elevated views across east London.
Designed by Burnet, Tait & Lorne in the 1930s as an extension to the former German Hospital, Bruno Court is an important example of British Modernism, with a distinctive façade, original Crittall windows and elegant Art Deco detailing. Its design was influenced by the work of Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, with an emphasis on natural light, ventilation and the relationship between interior and exterior spaces.
Inside, the apartment has a restrained, minimal aesthetic that allows the building’s original architecture and the surrounding views to take centre stage. A simple palette and uncluttered interiors create a calm, understated atmosphere throughout.
The reception room is particularly impressive, extending to almost 25 ft in length. Generous windows draw natural light deep into the space and frame views across the surrounding rooftops and greenery. Its proportions allow for distinct living and dining areas, while the pared-back interiors provide a versatile backdrop for furniture, art and everyday life.
To the rear, the separate kitchen opens directly onto the apartment’s most distinctive feature: a generous, curved balcony that follows the building’s expressive architectural lines. Measuring approximately 18 ft at its widest point, this remarkable outdoor space offers room for seating and dining, with an elevated outlook across the neighbourhood. The balcony feels like a natural extension of the living accommodation and provides a wonderful setting for enjoying the changing light and views.
Two of the three bedrooms are arranged along the eastern side of the apartment. The principal bedroom is generously proportioned, while the two additional rooms offer flexibility for guests, children or working from home. A family bathroom sits centrally within the plan.
Beyond the apartment itself, Bruno Court offers a collection of communal spaces that make living here particularly special. Residents enjoy access to a shared roof terrace with panoramic views across London’s skyline, as well as a peaceful communal garden to the rear of the building.
Perhaps most notably, residents also benefit from key access to the private gardens of Fassett Square. Enclosed by handsome Victorian houses, the beautifully maintained square provides a tranquil green space at the heart of the neighbourhood, offering a rare sense of privacy and community in this vibrant part of east London.
