Berhampore State Flats, Art Deco apartment complex in Berhampore, New Zealand
The five blocks of residential buildings form a rectangular layout with a circular community hall at the center of a shared green quadrangle.
The state-funded housing project, completed in 1939 under architect Gordon Wilson, addressed severe housing shortages during the Depression era in Wellington.
The architectural design incorporated modern amenities and communal spaces, reflecting new approaches to social housing through government initiatives in New Zealand.
Located at 493-507 Adelaide Road, the complex contains 50 residential units with configurations ranging from one to three bedrooms.
The initial demand for apartments was so high that housing officials compared securing a residence in the complex to winning a lottery.
