New Zealand At Home (2006).

“New Zealand At Home” was an 8-part documentary series airing on Television New Zealand in 2006. Presented by architecture and design historian Douglas Lloyd Jenkins, the series is a companion piece to his earlier book, of “At Home: A Century of New Zealand Design” (2004).

Episode 6, "Modernism Triumphant", examines the post-war modernist style of the 1950s and 1960s, describing the Dorset Street Flats in Christchurch as "the most influential house to be built in the South Island in the 1950s", and marking them as the starting point for what was to become the "Christchurch School" of domestic architecture.
