From 1923 to 1925 he was trained in the building office of the Reichsbank under Heinrich Wolff and in 1926 he was appointed government architect ( assessor in the public building administration). Together with his college friend Gerhard Winkler , von Estorff founded an architects' firm in Potsdam in 1927 , in which Otto's older brother Hans von Estorff also worked. They mainly dealt with the design and implementation of country-style houses. The Estorff and Winkler office developed into the most commissioned and most successful architecture office in Potsdam in the 1930s and shaped the country house style in Potsdam and the surrounding area.
