Gordon Wilson Flats, Modernist apartment complex in Te Aro, New Zealand

The residential structure rises on The Terrace with 75 maisonette units arranged across multiple levels featuring concrete walls and prominent structural grids.

Built between 1957 and 1959, the complex bears the name of Government Architect Gordon Wilson who designed it as a solution for social housing needs.

The building represents a milestone in New Zealand's architectural evolution, incorporating International Style Modernism principles from European design movements.

Victoria University of Wellington acquired the property in 2014 for over 6 million dollars, with the structure remaining unoccupied pending future decisions.

The site holds additional historical value as the location of the first residence of George Hunter, Wellington's first mayor.
