Wong House Update


Great news everyone!

Stuff reports that Claude Megson's award-winning 1967 Wong House, poorly-marketed as a demolition proposition, "has been saved from demolition" by the new buyers:
The award-winning Remuera cube house designed by renowned architect Claude Megson has been sold and will not be demolished.
Listing agent Holly Cassidy of Ray White Epsom says the house posed no concerns for the buyers when they went through the property. "They knew what to expect – what they would be walking into, so it wasn't a surprise for them.
"They have children and live locally, and they have been looking for a family home while renting. They are planning to renovate the house, but they say they won't be pulling down any walls or moving anything. But they will be reroofing and recladding with modern aluminium battens, not cedar (in a similar profile)."
