Dixon Street Flats, Heritage residential building in Wellington, New Zealand
The Dixon Street Flats reach ten floors high and represent the International Modernist architectural movement through their horizontal lines and minimal decoration patterns.
Constructed between 1942 and 1947 under the First Labour Government housing program, the building provided 115 one-bedroom apartments to address severe housing shortages.
The flats marked a transition in New Zealand's residential architecture by introducing European-style apartment living during the post-World War II period.
Housing New Zealand maintains the property while preserving its architectural elements through specific renovation guidelines that respect the original design.
The building received over 700 applications for its apartments in 1943, demonstrating the substantial demand for urban housing in post-war Wellington.
