Bowen House, Parliament office building in Wellington, New Zealand.
The 22-story Bowen House stands at the intersection of Lambton Quay and Bowen Street, housing parliamentary staff and government officials.
Constructed in 1990, Bowen House expanded the New Zealand Parliament complex, providing additional office space for Members of Parliament and support personnel.
The building forms part of New Zealand's central government district, where national policies and legislative decisions shape the country's future.
An underground passage with a moving walkway connects Bowen House directly to the Executive Wing, facilitating efficient movement between parliamentary buildings.
Engineers completed structural reinforcements in 2023 after discovering the building met only 40 percent of current building code requirements.
