This New Zealand based heliport (evidently in Auckland) has recently won an international design award:
Nice to see a firm taking pride in their premises.
Well done.

Heliports
An opportunity to showcase the best (and worst) heliports, helipads and helidecks; past, present and future (designs), from around the world.
'Hooper Heliport' Home to the LAPD's Air Support Unit. Have flown out of this facility three times (twice during the day and once at night) with the former chief check and training pilot for the ASU in the mid-80's. (If anyone recalls his name I'd be grateful).
National Utility Helicopters heliport at Balikpapan in Indonesia.
Helipad at the Getty Centre, Brentwood, Los Angeles replete with monorail/transit vehicle (or whatever they are called these days).

Identifying Ryan's Images
The image with the R44 is infact the helideck of Shadow Marine's 'Palladin' - a vessel which was launched at the Ft. Lauderdale boat show in 2005. A further image of her (below):
The 430 seems to be Seaflight's Barrier Reef pontoon. Some years back there was an incident on one of these pontoons between two aircraft (one parked and one landing) where the parked craft had failed to tie down its main rotor resulting in contact between the blades of the landing and parked helicopter.
Beneath Broome Heliport is Macau (Hong Kong).
The heliport with the 205's belongs to Brian Reynolds owner of Northwest Helicopters at Olympia Airport Washington State, Mt. Olympia in the background.
The link to the bottom image would appear to be Wall Street (NY).
Anyone able to identify the remaining shots?

An interesting thread, but please tag the photo, there is no use in putting an image that we cannot identify!
As with all our Rotorheads threads and photos, don't use it as an excuse to put up a lot of photos that anyone can find by trawling t'internet. Unique, personal photos are what we're after

Home base heliport of 'Elikos' in South Tyrol, Italy. To facilitate additional movements they installed a pad atop their admin building.
Mt.Malarayat Golf and Country Club in the Philippines where the 19th hole is .. a helipad! An idea for PPRuNer Estepo perhaps (that's if he doesn't already have one!).
The home heliport of Alpha Helicopters of Shimotsuma in Japan

Afraid it's not an offering from exotic climes (unless you count the North of England as foreign territory) but I guess it's got a certain aesthetic appeal...
I can lay claim to the photographic rights, but the flying rights go to a much more talented individual than me.

AS350B HT1 at RAF Shawbury on 22nd September 2011 (Photo: Michael Brazier)
In the final image displayed at the bottom of post #13 the pad displays the approach direction much the same as runway numbers. However I'm not sure what the numbers above signify - the pad number perhaps?
JimL to the rescue!
