Beehive Building - Our Parliament
The Parliament Buildings in Wellington's Lambton area feature some of the city's most stunning and instantly recognisable architecture. Consisting of three magnificent structures, by far the most distinctive part of the Wellington Parliament Buildings is this breathtaking Beehive building, a modern executive office space, designed by British architect Sir Basil Spence in the shape of a real Beehive.
Construction of the Wellington Beehive building began in 1969 and was finally completed in 1980, when the Beehive quickly become synonymous with New Zealand's capital city of Wellington.
