Leafe Cafe, Newmarket

Drinks pictured: Oat flat white ($6.5) and iced kumara latte.

Went back to Leafe in Westfield Newmarket. I had an oat flat white and my friend had an iced kumara latte! They use beans from Atomic Coffee Roasters. The cafe is quite spacious and you can sit by the windows and have a nice view down to Broadway.

Sketches of Kiosk design idea

I'm thinking of doing a mini bookstore for my mobile kiosk, which will be situated outside the entrance Westfield Newmarket mall, an area with high food traffic. The aim of the kiosk is to attract the attention of the community into using the booth which will encourage and lead to new customers into visiting the store on Nuffield Street. The kiosk will feature seatings and display stands for graphic novels that contains only half of the story to create curiosity, prompting customers to discover what happens next by visiting the bookstore. Alternatively, they can also purchase the full novel at the payment window. The space of the kiosk is enough to fit up 5 people including a worker at the window counter.

I wanted the design of the kiosk to be a mini version of the bookstore, with the same exterior/interior and element design.

Leafé Cafe, Newmarket

Drinks pictured: V60 for one ($6) and an almond flat white.

Went back to Leafé Cafe inside Westfield Newmarket after almost 3 years! Really love the green interior of the cafe. They serve Atomic Coffee and this time I had the V60, but I'm not sure which beans (country of origin) they use for their filter coffee. It's a pretty large cafe, and if you sit by the windows you can watch the haps on Broadway. 🚶🚗

Everything You Could Possibly Need To Know About Auckland

It’s no easy feat making a move to a new city. But never fear, we’ve rounded up a local’s guide of the best things to try, buy and eat around town so you can live your best life here in Auckland!

Food

We’re happy to report the foodie scene here in the city of sails (it’s a nickname, just go with it) is thriving. Whether you’re looking to get dumped by gyoza or the best fried chicken in town, check out the below for tried and tested local gems.

The Coup, Takapuna – Dare we say it, The Coup puts the colonel’s 11 secret herbs and spices to shame. Don’t pass up a chance to give one of their game-changing Po’ boys a try.

The Blue Breeze Inn, Ponsonby – Any Aucklander will tell you The Blue Breeze Inn is one of the best in town. Featuring a pan-Asian inspired cuisine, head here for a legendary Mai Tai (or two). While you’re at it, order a round of dumplings, pork belly bao and XO noodles. We warn you this spot is addictive!

Eden Noodle House, Mt. Eden – Speaking of dumplings, Eden Noodle House is legendary among locals for a cheap bite. Often with lines out the door, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu – they’re that good.

Rude Boy, Freemans Bay – Offering classics done right, head here for ultra gram-worthy dishes and sprawling cabinet food that’ll make your mouth water. We recommend the mixed creamy mushrooms or if you’re on the go, a sourdough doughnut from the cabinet.

Winona Forever, Parnell – Another café doing good things, the Eton Rifle French toast is not to be missed. The big breakfast plate also hits the spot.

Oh Calcutta, Parnell – Serving the best Indian in town, once you try their butter chicken and tandoori salmon, no other will compare.

Prego, Ponsonby – Another fabulous Italian spot offering excellent Italian cuisine. Their spaghetti agioli is a must-try.

Wu & Yu, Mt. Eden – A whacky and wonderful blend of East and West, Wu and You’s menu boasts dumplings, soft shell crab tacos and a dessert menu to die for.

Garden Shed, Mt. Eden – The closest a café will come to a garden picnic, The Garden shed keeps things classic and focusing on flavour and presentation. Their burger is one of the best and not for the faint-hearted.

Giapo, CBD – You’ve never seen ice cream like this before. Prepare for your mind to be blown.

Dr. Rudis, Viaduct – To finish off those big work weeks look no further than Dr. Rudis. Featuring an in-house bowling alley, micro-brewery on-site and live music, see out the week from their rooftop.

Chapel, Ponsonby – Not a destination but a stop along the way on any big night out.

A Guide To Speaking Kiwi

Guilty of merging and switching vowels and ending every sentence like we’re asking a question; us Kiwis sure do make it hard for newbies to fathom exactly what we’re saying.

Instead of nodding, smiling and acting like you completely understand this unique accent, find an empty room, say the following words out loud and soon enough, you’ll be convincing everyone (and yourself!) that you are a true-blue Kiwi!

Dick: A wooden platform outside a house. Usually enjoyed in the summertime.

Tin: One more than nine.

Iggs: Laid by chickens and often enjoyed with evercardo on toast.

Chups: Chips.

Fush: Found in the sea and enjoyed with chups.

Why-poo: Small seaside town.

Tiddy Beer: Your cuds favourite stuffed toy.

Cud: A young person or goat.

Beer: Large mammal often found in forests.

Beer: Not clothed or covered.

Beer: A cold beverage enjoyed in the summer.

Rung: A piece of jewellery worn on a finger.

Bug: Large/ considerable size.

Bugger That: Not going to happen

She’ll be right: That’ll do. 

Bloody Nora: WTF. 

Beard: Where you go to sleep.

Hid: Rests on top of your neck.

Ear: What we breathe.

Stuck: A thin piece of wood found on a tree.

Pig: Used to hang up wet washing.

Silly-brities: A famous person.

Really: Something that hardly ever happens.

Cheer: Something to sit on, often round a table.

Sucks: Comes before sivven

Week 4

Site visit 2

This week we got to visit the site for the second time to undertake additional site analysis, I was able to take extra measurements of the building which I didn’t get from my last visit. And got the chance to think about my kiosk design and where it can potentially be situated. 

The options for the kiosk designs are an outdoor one for Nuffield Street, an indoor one for the store and a mobile kiosk for the train stations etc. I’m leaning more for a mobile kiosk which can be placed in a train station or potentially the Newmarket Westfield mall as I think the kiosk being in a high traffic area will work better in raising awareness for my store compared to Nuffield Street where not many people might see. Additionally, I’m thinking of doing a mini bookstore for my mobile kiosk.

After the site visited, I made a site analysis with the informations I've gathered on the site; details about neighbour buildings, streets, traffic flow and pathways. As well as identifying the sun path, ground elevation and North direction of the site. 

My next step is to research existing mobile kiosk designs to gain a better understanding of their features and consider how I can incorporate into my own design. As well as additional research on existing shopfront designs.

Simon Devitt

Simon Devitt is a New Zealand architectural photographer based in Wellington. He taught photography at University of Auckland for 10 years.

Simon enjoys exploring the difference of photography in different countries:

'Shanghai and its people, the fruitful silence of a Japanese bamboo forest, the light in Los Angeles, so different to the harsh, more direct light in New Zealand. In fact, I love LA light, so diffused, as if a giant soft box had been placed over the sun.'

He intentionally adds people to his photography as it gives a sense and place of time.

Three of the photos I added here hit close to home as it is in Westfield Newmarket, a place I have spent a lot of time in with family and friends. I appreciate how Simon notices interesting aspects of architecture such as the water feature on the roof of the mall. This relates to my project as it shows the interesting forms of light, reflections and zoomed in architectural compositions.
