Arlington House, Margate, Brutalist residential building in Margate, England
Arlington House rises 18 stories above Margate's seafront, containing 142 apartments with a distinctive wave pattern design on its exterior walls.
The structure opened in December 1963 on the former site of Margate Sands railway station, developed by Bernard Sunley and designed by Russell Diplock Associates.
The building's construction marked a shift in British coastal architecture, introducing large-scale residential developments to traditional seaside towns in the 1960s.
Each apartment features sea views, with the building located next to Margate railway station and the entertainment complex Dreamland Margate.
The structure incorporates an unused shopping center at its base, originally intended as Britain's first integrated park-and-buy commercial complex.
