Midway Residence

18 Montague Street, North East Valley, Dunedin, New Zealand
18 Montague Street Dunedin Otago Region 9010 NZ

This striking residence seamlessly blends form and function with its generously glazed facade, allowing abundant natural light to flood the interiors. The extensive glazing is thoughtfully tempered by external roller blinds, discreetly concealed within the soffits, which can be lowered to provide shade and enhance thermal performance—a critical feature for Dunedin’s variable climate.

The house’s exterior showcases a refined material palette, with dark vertical timber cladding contrasted against crisp white brickwork, creating a dynamic interplay of textures. A sleek, low-pitched roof with deep eaves and exposed timber soffits nods to midcentury aesthetics while ensuring passive solar gain is optimised. Internally, the open-plan living spaces are defined by clean lines, warm wooden finishes, and polished concrete floors, fostering a sense of airy sophistication. Large sliding doors connect the interior to a landscaped courtyard, blurring the boundary between inside and out.
