English: A much feted Modernist building, one of the early examples of a tower resting on a broad, low podium (1957-63). It has a reinforced concrete frame clad in Portland stone, except for the ground floor which is clad in black Belgian marble recessed behind stainless-steel-clad pilotis. Between the floors of the tower are slight stone projections. The architects were Robert Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners. It now belongs to a very exclusive club of post-war buildings: Grade II listed. Fittingly, it houses the New Zealand High Commission.
