Cascades in 2014

Cascades Tower is a 20-storey residential building and a distinctive local landmark on the Isle of Dogs in East London.[1] It was designed by Rex Wilkinson, a partner in the celebrated architectural firm CZWG, and built in 1987–88.[2][3]

The building has a concrete frame with details inspired by riverside industry and nautical themes. It has 168 residential units.[4]

Overlooking River Thames, Cascades Tower is on 4 Westferry Road, Canary Wharf, E14 8JL. It stands on land just south of the old western entrance to South Dock of the original West India Docks.[5]

The total height of the building structure is Шаблон:Convert. Cascade Tower was the first private high-rise housing development undertaken by The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) to regenerate the depressed east London Docklands area.[6] It was completed at a time “when high rise was still a discredited building form for residential purposes, and two or three storeys was the norm”.[7][8] The building is an exemplary architecture project of British Post-Modernism style.[9]

Cascades was the Winner of Architectural Brickwork Award in 1989,[10] and Grade II listed building in 2018.[11][12]
