Baltic Quay, Residential complex in Surrey Quays, London Borough of Southwark, England
Baltic Quay stands between South Dock and Greenland Dock, featuring vaulted roofs, circular windows, and a prominent 14-story tower as main architectural elements.
The London Docklands Development Corporation completed this residential development in 1989, marking a period of urban transformation in the Southwark area.
The building received its informal name 'Ikea building' from local residents due to its original exterior color scheme of blue and yellow.
The structure contains residential apartments across multiple floors, following the 1995 conversion of former office and commercial spaces by Barlow Henley Architects.
Every ten years, Baltic Quay undergoes complete external redecoration according to lease requirements, with the first phase starting in April 2008.
