Many of the house designs in NZ, including the very simple ones made from wood, are influenced by the architecture of California. We also have a lot of earthquakes, so it makes sense to build with wood. In Auckland's case, they sit on a string of volcanos, so wood isn't such a priority!

The art deco shapes and details are so stylish and cool! Clad in white, it glows as we admire architectural artistry!
Ditto what Ralph said! When I look at the picture, I'm reminded of San Francisco for some reason.
Gorgeous! I also thought of SF when I saw this - an interesting combination of Bauhaus in Tel Aviv and San Francisco :)
Beautiful, whatever it is!

Great architecture!
That is quite a fascinating building will all the lines and curves. I've seem some similar ones here in Long Beach, also from the Art Deco movement.
