Red House, Official residence on Vavaea Ridge, Honiara, Solomon Islands.
The Red House stands as a single-story wooden structure elevated on stilts, featuring a characteristic red roof that influenced its name.
Initially constructed during the 1950s for the colonial Secretary of Finance, the building transformed into the Prime Minister's residence following independence in 1978.
The wooden construction of Red House reflects Pacific architectural traditions, incorporating regional building methods and materials common in Solomon Islands.
The residence contains three bedrooms and sits on an elevated position that provides direct views of both the sea and inland territories of Honiara.
The National Parliament building stands near this governmental residence, which underwent substantial renovations worth 4 million dollars in 2010.
