‘Wong House’ by Claude Megson, 1968

 

Architect Claude Megson would have been incensed to feature so far down Home & Buiding magazines presentation of the “50 best New Zealand house designed [last] century.” (Particularly as David Mitchell’s Gibb House, a commission Claude coveted – and about which he would tell many stories -- features at number 2!)

Considered a New Romantic rather than a modernist, the house chosen by the magazine to represent Claude is his gold-medal winning Wong House, of which a small taste can be seen here.

The Auckland Architecture Archive’s handy Megson Guide has (very) slightly more:
