An Architect's Own Home That Celebrates Architectural Craft (House Tour)

- An architect’s own home, Menzies Pop is a celebration of architectural craft. Introducing a refined material palette to the pre-existing building, Common Architecture maximises the potential of the New Zealand property.
Located in Sumner, a suburb settled on the outskirts of Christchurch, Menzies Pop is a distinctive concrete construction. A house tour of ‘The Bunker’, as it is referred to by locals, reveals the creative possibilities of the building that culminated in it becoming an architect’s own home. Hand-crafted details give character to the foundation of the house, such as clover shapes cut into the parapets and a skilfully carved arched entrance. Features retained by Common Architecture, such as a concrete ceiling and concrete work beams, present the home as an architecturally exciting offering.
Cementing its status as an architect’s own home, Menzies Pop emerges as a thoughtful reconfiguration of its original building. Three bedrooms are reimagined as a kitchen-living area, with their north-west orientation allowing the spaces to have access to a deck at the rear of the home. By moving the kitchen into a more communal part of the house, Common Architecture presents the space as central to family life.
The interior design of the structure speaks to the fact that it is an architect’s own home. An expert eye is applied to the scale of furniture, skylights and the single-length boards that cover some of the walls of the home, so that the dimensions of the building are emphasised. The beloved timber of the pre-existing home is complemented by teak, stone and brass accents, which form a sophisticated extension of the original material palette. Embracing its structural history, Menzies Pop stands as a cleverly crafted example of an architect’s own home.

Absolutely astounding the philosophy and respect for the previous owners/ architects
so peaceful watching these videos brings peace, so well edited, the narrative, the camera movements, the beautiful design of the house. Thank you for your beautiful work.
I applaud the approach these architects have used to keep this home to a sensible scale.
I like this. They appreciated the building and then adapted it with good quality ideas and materials.
Ahhhh, now this is more like it. This is more like how a designer should described/explain a home. Very nice.
I love the respect that's been shown to what came before them. Very tastefully executed.
Love the dogs footprints in the facade!
such a light and welcoming space
I love the concrete ceilings. Just a stunning remodel. Great home ! Hope you make wonderful new memories there. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you for conducting such a thoughtful renovation of a home that was originally constructed with such love and care. The light within the home flows so beautifully through the home. It's very peaceful. The wood you added to the structure, teach and latch, is such a lovely addition. Very well done. . .
Good example of using restraint when remodeling. Too often Architects feel the need to make a "Statement". The old adage..."less is more" is always good advice.
Definitely thisss
Love the story of the older house and how the new architects have adapted the house for many years to come!
Wow, the kitchen is very gorgeous and the entire house looks so minimal.
love this well thought out design and selection of different material
Their eye contact was so infused with love.
This is a very soft but edgy sweet home for the family. Really love the hand crafted record on the wall.
Beautiful.. Storytelling, detailing, people.. Love this one. Thanks. Wait fwd for more.
Beautiful beautiful and full of character home!
Great to see the original building kept and the foresight to bring it to its full potential. As nice as the original features are, the addition is lovely with those windows and accents to echo the walls below. Great job, well done 👍
Потрясающий пример умной и гармоничной реновации. Каждый метр здания и участком земли вокруг него хочется пользоваться.
Very emotional, legacy architecture always moves me. Thank You
We are so thrilled to watch this valuable content from the local project channel
Love the home, architects did the building proud.
Love the shoebox extension on top. Doesn't take away too much from the existing property
Simply Stunning.
Wooä 😲😲
Beautiful Home 👍👍👍👍👍
Love this home.
oh fantastic, just fantastic.
The narrative of this house will last perhaps three generations now. Loved the down to earth description of the way they adapted the original house as well- we shouldn’t need an Arts degree and a thesaurus to understand “Archi-speak”.
Love this!
Stunning and very unique.
Wow... I envy people who are able to create such unique homes...
im just glad to be here #inspiring design

Simple but modern unique design 👌. very nice.

Gorgeous! ❤️
You guys nailed it
Gorgeous!

Приятно радует восприятие форм и цвета🙏
Beautiful piece.
Love it!
Modern and classical harmony
beautiful
Such a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing. I would to know, what type of material should be used to get that kind of cooktop? TIA!
my favourite
Well done.
I like this
nice kitchen
As an architect in the US I'm always astounded by the unique building products that are used throughout the world. I'm curious about the single lite sliding door on the 'bunker'. Is this a custom door or is it a readily available product?
Nice house
Wow
would love to know more about the oringinal builder
Как всегла очень красиво
❤❤❤❤❤
Not kiwis saying deck
Love your house
💯
Notes:
**that marble-to-wood transition @**0:01** is hot**
@0:22 can use that ceiling concept in a select location?
0:36 like the exterior to the balcony-type setting (see: ua-cam.com/video/4wnzMUaH1g4/v-deo.html), but not the wall (2 shots from 0:54).
*the **0:48** bedroom terrace is def cool*
***those steps @**1:45** (2 shots); also see the reverse as a transition @**3:43**; then also **5:22**?***
2:02 is cool, but not using
3:30 bedroom is elegant
*3:32** can do that ceiling*
**excellent lighting setup in kitchen @**3:52**... then **3:57****
*vg siding window/opening @**4:08** for bedroom*
****4:26**: can us something like this along stairwells?**
*V nice contrast for bedroom @**4:54**... **4:59** is fire*
...**vg use of wall for lighting @**5:02** (see Local Project Tree House also, but that was high)**
cool ceiling to bathroo @5:33 (see Japanese small house too)
*really cool study @**5:51**, = another first floor idea*
**opening in ceiling @**6:13** is very nice... for PH level?**
What are the chairs shown in the first seconds of the video?
I like the window end caps!
I wish I had the $$$ enough resources to incorporate a resilient off the grid home; thus a green home that incorporates your window end cap design into a MATSON can build! That utilizes 10 Matson cans, that has reinforced support beams that incorporates its Matson can style logo stated obvious design material derivative, and have the style like windows of your video esthetics and to incorporate the earths natural elements that can bring the outside natural elements in! Also opening the ceiling skylight. Line rectangle opening to bring in light through its rectangular shape, which brings in natural light . This eclectic recyclable materials, can help the environment! This three story made stack-able built resilient of those water pumps, and utilizing grey water to feed the plants, and also green house effect in sections of the home to create my minds eyes focal natural point of view which creates the rest of the house's design as i see it! The future off the old industrial electrical fossil grid; into the future's resilience to the cataclysmic old home design! Go GREEn! future home! GO GREEN MIRI TUNTA OR for some TUNA!!!!
Is that the other homes are so close
Anyone know the songs playing in the background here?
World club pocer отстой 💯
Beautiful design but I can't help feeling that they didn't make the most of the rooftop space. There could've been an amazing outdoor lounge there with plants and maybe even fire pit. Anything really.
Wow I need to get my life together folks 😂
A green roof or even roof garden would be a great addition to the first floor. Stepping out from the master bedreem into a pebbled desert is something that can easily be improved.
I know an architect that in the beginning of his career designed such houses. He has stopped that.
OK?
Beautiful Home!
有些像一条视频的风格，他们是介绍中国的住宅民宿

What is incredible that in places that have more land-nature than people inhabitants would cram themselves uncomfortably close to each other. I guess it is something about zoning or urban planning that makes people put up with this unhealthy mode of living. I would never live in a place where I cannot see landscape or trees out of the windows and instead see other dwelling staring back. And to think , people pay premium to be packed like sardines.
This look pretty good!

Unreal! This home is so cozy and perfect! Love the extension and unique concrete details. 💖
Can’t wait to use my C4 to 🧨 this house off
What the..?! LOL
you must spend some time thinking about finishing the ceilings ... its NOT the inside of a high-security jailhouse .... so WHY ???
17 comments on this channel, many decrying concrete and “grey boxes”. Perhaps some people have taste which differs from yours ❤️
Terrace looks like a graveyard 😬
ugly box on top of the very unique home.
Agree
You talk to much and don t show everything! Need talk and show everything at the same time
Truly a home. Lovely project.
