Painting them with nail polish is not going to help, in fact it just makes it worse – there is nothing fungi like better than a dark, warm and moist environment!

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.
Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.
Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.
