Cascades in 2014

Cascades is a 20-storey residential building and a distinctive local landmark on the Isle of Dogs in Millwall, east London.[1] It was designed by Rex Wilkinson, a partner in the 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 the River Thames on Westferry Road, 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 194 feet (59 m). Cascades was the first private high-rise housing development approved by The London Docklands Development Corporation (LDDC) to regenerate the depressed east London Docklands area.[6] It was built by The Kentish Property Group and 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]
