Definitely brutalist architecture, well done! Those who denigrate this iconic (if aging) Wellington building don't know good design when they see it. It was fun to visit Matt's well-designed space with its 270-degree view of the surrounding area. The location made it easy to come and go as we dined in the city and walked up the hill to have a look at Victoria University & the Botanical Garden on a couple of gorgeous days in Wellington.
As for Matt, he is an affable young professional and a good Kiwi bloke full of local knowledge and happy to share it without being overbearing (and not at all creepy, which we suppose people worry about when renting a room in someone's apartment, ha!).
