In the NZ context, I was really taken by the new Govett Brewster Gallery in New Plymouth. Not just the exterior; the interior alongside the glass is magical, with such striking light, and alcoves in those spaces where the building folds out. Another good reason to visit NP.

I like, cross that out, I love Frank Lloyd Wright houses. The Weltzheimer Johnson house is one I'd still love to live in.
But you have compared this USD 50,000 (1948) house with a late 1940s NZP ~1,000 state house from my area. A typical NZ house of the era would have been bigger. Inflating the building cost to 2020 values we're comparing USD 550,000 to NZD 155,000.
This 1947 NZ house has been updated since but it would be more representative of the architectural style in NZ which also continued the art deco feature of the flat (or hidden low-pitch) roof.
Edited to add link and more effusive praise of FLW houses.
