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:

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
