Brutalist architecture arrived in Margate in 1964 when this block, designed by Russell Diplock and Associates, was built close to the station and the seafront; the shape was intended to represent waves, allowing sea and countryside views from all of the 142 apartments. The original design incorporated a shopping centre and public car park but these areas are no longer used. One resident has made their views on Brexit very clear.
