    Wow, that Stevens Lawson house is something else… amazing

    I agree. The house is fantastic, and what a setting. Still undecided on the Supreme Court and it’s relationship with the surrounding precinct, but the interior is amazing. Could be some halcyon days coming up for NZ architecure at the world awards, or is that a bit premature ?
