Innovative, premium design joins a central and vibrant location to make a newly-launched apartment complex concept one of the most highly desirable in town. Coming to 445 New North Road, Kingsland, The Electric will boast 33 apartments that speak to the diverse range of people who want access to the business, transport and social offerings of inner Auckland.
With a completion date slated for early 2024, the high quality, beautiful living spaces are being designed by the award-winning architectural team at Chow: Hill, led by Director Simon Woodall, and the overall project is being developed by the Cassidy family. The Cassidys have lived and worked in Kingsland since the 1980s, providing them with comprehensive insight into what will be valuable to residents of the area.

An unabashedly unique project, The Electric comprises multiple floor plan offerings to suit a variety of lifestyles, with an L-shaped building that has been consciously designed to incorporate green space and exquisite views all around. Apartments will range from 50 sqm to 155 sqm (excluding terraces) with layout options that include studios, and one, two and three-bedroom units.
Contemporary interiors and designer kitchens will provide ultimate comfort while speaking to those who love to entertain, as will sun-soaked terraces and sunrooms. Clever features such as floor-to-ceiling glass bifold or sliding doors will be able to be thrown open to the balcony spaces, creating seamless flow between indoor and outdoor.

All apartments come with single or tandem car parks and full height storage units large enough for bikes. Motorbike parking bays are also available.
Should you be after a truly luxurious living proposition, the penthouse will boast a 207 sqm interior plus 453 sqm of landscaped terraces to three sides — over 660 sqm total of premium cosmopolitan living space, with stunning views over Auckland.
“Our team including Katie Dickens, Amy Land and myself, wanted to create an apartment complex that set itself apart from the neighbouring developments,” says Simon Woodall. “The Electric has been designed to capture the essence of Kingsland, a suburb that embraces both heritage and modernity, a community of forward thinking, design savvy residents.”
The Electric’s architectural language took clues from their observations of bold, high profile multi-residential developments in Australia, he notes, particularly around the Sydney foreshore. “We wanted to produce a piece of design that simultaneously felt at home in Kingsland and yet stood out in the middle of a constantly evolving, energetic neighbourhood.”
The Electric’s onsite showroom is now open at 445 New North Road and includes a display kitchen and bathroom to assist with visualising the spaces. Prices range from $695,000 to $2.75M+ and the garden penthouse is POA. Register your interest here.

Talented florist Isabel Johnston first started in the floristry industry around eight years ago, and quickly built up a reputation for her signature naturalistic designs.
Johnston founded Isadia Floral with co-florist Lydia Reusser in November 2020, and together the duo is even more in demand for their unstructured yet elegant bouquets and floral arrangements that incorporate foraged plants, as well as flowers sourced from Auckland’s flower markets.
Isadia offers retail bouquets and subscription flowers, personalised in-home and workspace styling, and flowers for weddings and events, with regular clients that include Muse Boutique, Kowtow, Fabric, Knight Associates and Monmouth Glass Studio.
With her innate eye for beauty and a love for supporting local or independent designers and retailers, here Johnston shares some of her favourite things.
What I do for a job described in one sentence: I am the co-founder of floral design studio Isadia.
My personal style can be defined by: Being a florist is messy work so most of the time it’s practical — a combo of chunky knits and good denim paired with a nice pair of boots.
The last thing I bought and loved was: A red knit jumper from Paloma Wool, I am a big-time fan of the label and will be living in it this winter.
An unforgettable place I visited was: Croatia — everything about it is magical.
The next place I’d like to go to: Back to Italy! My favourite place in the world.
An object I would never part with is: My late dad’s guitar.
The design (building, person, item) that inspires me is: Dutch landscape designer Piet Oudolf — he is my idol.
My guilty pleasure is:The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
My secret talent is: My friends and I recently learnt a line dancing routine… not so secret but definitely a new talent I am excited to bring out at a party.
I can’t miss an episode of:Mare of Easttown. I am a sucker for a good crime thriller.
My morning routine is: An early morning walk and coffee with my mum. I will treasure every moment I have living close to her and it always sets me up for a good day.
In my fridge you’ll always find: Anchovies, capers and olives for whipping up my all-time favourite dish pasta puttanesca.
Clockwise from left: Paloma Wool knit; Auē by Becky Manawatu; Hera Saabi ring; Pasta puttanesca; Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum; Andrea Bolima painting.
My favourite website is:The Planthunter — a beautiful online journal focusing on art, design, landscapes and culture in the plant world.
A gadget I can’t do without is: My phone — it’s a love/hate relationship being able to carry work in my pocket
The one artist whose work I would collect is (if price is not an issue): I recently fell in love with Auckland based Andrea Bolima’s paintings. I would love to have one of her pieces on my wall at home.
The last meal out I had that truly impressed me was: We recently moved into a studio on Anzac Ave and discovered the best Indian food in Auckland at Hobson Indian Takeaways. It’s a small hole in the wall and the samosa chats are incredible.
The podcasts I listen to are:This Is Love and Criminal — I am a big Phoebe Judge fan. I also embarrassingly enjoy a cheeky dose of My Favorite Murderfor my true crime/comedy fix.
The best gift I ever received was: My friends got me the most incredible ring from Hera Saabi for my birthday this year. I will treasure it for the rest of my life!
If I wasn’t doing what I am, I would be: I studied landscape design and would love to practice this at some stage in my life! My business partner Lydia also studied and worked in the industry for a few years and we have chatted about incorporating this into our business at some stage in the future.
I have a collection of: Beach trinkets! My partner and I have a tradition of collecting little mementoes in the form of a shell or a cool looking rock each time we go on an adventure together.
My favourite way to unwind is: Hanging out with my cat PJ and my partner Richie — my two favourite people in the world.
One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received is: To live life in the present and be grateful for everything you have. Cliché but true.
While the official start of winter may not be for a couple of weeks, we dare say the weather outside begs to differ. Dreary days and chilly nights call for some serious self-care, and we can safely say we’ll be making a beeline for Spring Spa to experience its luxurious new Augustinus Bader Methode facial.
Using the cult brand’s pioneering (and award-winning) products, this facial is both relaxing and restoring, while boasting some seriously excellent results. Founded by leading stem cell and biomedical scientist Professor Augustinus Bader, the eponymous skincare brand is formulated to help support the body’s natural renewal processes.
The central science is the revolutionary TFC8®, or Trigger Factor Complex, which is composed of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin. It works to assist the skin in creating its own renewed cells, promoting skin that looks and feels healthier, firmer, stronger and more even.
Spring Spa’s new facial makes use of the brand’s products from start to finish. It begins with a double cleanse using The Cleansing Balm and The Cleansing Gel, followed by an LED light session during which an ache-erasing hand and arm massage is carried out. A layer of The Body Cream or The Body Oil will leave the limbs moisturised.
Next, it’s the Augustinus Bader Methode, which is the hero component of this incredible facial. This is a technique that refers to a special fascia release massage that helps to relax the facial tissue, which in turn enables the muscle layer to create more collagen. The Rich Cream is used with this massage, and together they help to stimulate collagen production both topically and inside the skin itself.
Following this is an intensive hydration mask, using warm Gua Sha to help the product absorb even further into the face, and skin is then toned using The Essence and finished using The Rich Cream for the eyes, The Cream for the face and The Lip Balm for the lips.
Recommended for all skin types (Augustinus Bader products are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven pigmentation), this facial is sure to have you leaving any winter doldrums behind for longer than the duration of the treatment, thanks to the glow it will bestow.
A slightly smaller version of Jaguar’s popular F-PACE, the E-PACE is taking the compact SUV category by storm with its sleek looks, sporty design and clever systems. A car worth familiarising yourself with, here are six things you need to know about the SUV that defies expectations.
Careful Attention to Detail The E-PACE commands attention, even when it’s just parked on the street. But it’s really in the little details that its character comes alive. Customisable textures and finishes festoon the interior and are bathed in soft pools of ambient lighting, striking the perfect tone every time. And if you look hard enough, you’ll also spot hidden nods to the Jaguar marque, including the exclusive Jaguar and Cub design hidden in the corner of the front windscreen, as well as a subtle jaguar print under the centre console.
A World Record Holder Fun fact: The Jaguar E-PACE achieved a Guinness World Record for the furthest barrel roll in a production vehicle, when stunt driver Terry Grant took on the challenge after months of preparation. His 15.3 metre-long barrel roll saw the E-PACE twist and fly through the air before sticking a clean landing on all four wheels. Quite the achievement for a car of its size and stature.
Space with Pace Designed to keep up with the hectic demands of family life, the Jaguar E-PACE refuses to scrimp on space. So whether you’re embarking on the school run, or heading for a weekend away, the E-PACE’s deep centre console, spacious glovebox, specially-made front door bins, and generous, 577-litre boot (able to fit a pram lying flat or two medium suitcases) make it a pragmatic choice for those on-the-go. While it might boast top speeds of 206 kilometres per hour, it’s clear that the zippy nature of the E-PACE takes nothing away from its practicality.
Brute Strength If you’re someone who loves to escape the city, boat in tow, the E-PACE might just be the perfect car in which to do it. Despite being a compact SUV, the E-PACE’s towing capacity is 1800 kilograms, which makes it as strong as it is sleek.
Built for Action For anyone with an active lifestyle, the Jaguar E-PACE’s optional Activity Key is an absolute must. Need to go for a run or a swim without taking your keys? Strap the robust, fully waterproof Activity Key to your wrist and leave your proper keys safely in the car. When you’re done, simply touch the Activity Key to your tailgate to unlock.
A Tailored Driving Experience Part of what makes the E-PACE unique is the way it makes the driving experience so personal. Its optional Adaptive Dynamics system monitors wheel positions and body movements to ensure your suspension is operating at its best, while the clever JaguarDrive Control allows you to switch between Normal, Eco, Dynamic and Winter modes to make subtle steering and throttle changes. These, among others, are the systems that allow you to make the E-PACE feel like it’s truly yours.
What was once an early-1900s bungalow, the Melbourne-based Malvern II House, has been given a new lease on life as a fully adaptable family home. Architect Zoë Geyer’s thoughtful addition of a new wing at the rear of the property allowed for the incorporation of a sleek and beautiful open-plan kitchen, living and dining room.
The home owner, Sarah Reid, is an interior designer whose design studio SR&O took care of the interiors, with an emphasis on making the home both beautiful and functional. The key, central hub for socialising and entertaining, the kitchen brief was for it to be attractive and welcoming, while remaining visually-uncluttered. An impressive marble island creates a sense of separation and the sizeable dining table is set into its own nook, within reachable distance of the built-in bar.
Fisher & Paykel appliances were chosen throughout for their ability to offer a high level of performance while providing the perfect fit and finish within the cabinetry. An integrated rangehood floats inconspicuously above the built-in oven which, while aesthetically minimal, functions perfectly for day-to-day cooking with its 900mm width.
Customisable appliances like the Fisher & Paykel Column refrigerator and freezer exemplify both aesthetics and functionality, providing design freedom with the ability to integrate the fronts so they’re concealed seamlessly, and the interior of both fridge and freezer have variable temperature zones to create the perfect (customisable) climate for food.
Opposite the dining table, another hidden appliance reinforces the flexibility enjoyed by this house’s residents. The CoolDrawer™ set within the bar’s joinery, allows dark marble, timber and top-lit shelves of glassware to take centre stage visually, while offering five different food modes, including fridge, freezer, pantry, chill and wine. Supportive and functional, this thoughtfully designed family home certainly proves day-to-day practicality need not sacrifice aesthetics.

As you may have noticed, we have our ear firmly attached to the ground when it comes to whispers of new openings, new collaborations and events we think that you, dear reader, might like to know about. So, when we heard one of our favourite cheap and cheerful Indian spots in Auckland was branching out into fusion pizzas, needless to say we were intrigued.
Paradise Indian Restaurant has ruled the Sandringham strip for over a decade, with both the dine-in and takeaway arms of the business heaving with diners who can’t get enough of Paradise’s richly flavourful curries, biryanis and other delicious Indian dishes.
Its new Paradise Fusion Pizza Restaurant has recently appeared at 586 Sandringham Road, and the offering is just what it sounds like: pizzas topped with Indian-style toppings like Butter Chicken, Paneer and more.
If this unseemly mash-up of Italian and Indian cuisine has you feeling a tad trepidatious, we understand — however, if we’d try an Indian-style pizza from anyone, it’d be Paradise.
We ordered three flavours, all in the name of research of course: Butter Chicken, Dragon Chicken, and Tandoori Paneer. There are several flavours, some of which we’re not 100 percent sure about like the (Middle Eastern-inspired?) Lamb Shawarma, and Charcoal Chicken which comprises BBQ chicken, vegetables and pineapple, so we decided to play it safe with slightly more familiar-sounding flavours.
While wholesome sourdough may be the base du jour for more upmarket eateries that have pizza on their menus, don’t expect the same at Paradise. These bready, doughy bases are more akin to classic fast food pizza joints (we don’t think it’s necessary to name them) and while sourdough might be trendy, sometimes a humble, doughy pizza hits the spot.
The Butter Chicken was less creamy than we were expecting, more like a tomato and chicken pizza with cheese and onion, plus some mild spices. The Dragon Chicken pizza promised to bring the heat, however, we found it was more of a slight lingering kick — this did add a nice dimension to the topping which, with its slices of round black olives, was slightly reminiscent of nostalgic childhood pizza bites. The Tandoori Paneer pizza had the most recognisably Indian flavour profile, a delightfully greedy vegetarian takeaway option.
All-in-all, we can say Paradise Fusion Pizza Restaurant is destined to fill the gap for those craving a decadent and unconventional takeaway option — Paradise, if you’re reading this, our next request is for a Naan-based pizza.

Pick-up only at 586 Sandringham Road
Winter’s arrival means many things, but for wine enthusiasts, it signals the start of red wine season, as lighter varietals are cast aside in favour of a full-bodied Central Otago pinot noir. And considering that here at Denizen we definitely consider ourselves wine enthusiasts, it was music to our ears when we heard that The Studio of Tableware was set to welcome a very special glass back onto its shelves, designed specifically to maximise our enjoyment of a classic Central Otago Pinot.
Lauded glassware brand Riedel first launched its Central Otago Pinot Noir glass six years ago. It was created in collaboration with the Central Otago Winemakers Association as a vessel that would work specifically with Central Otago and wider New Zealand Pinot Noirs to highlight the wines’ unique characteristics. Upon its release, the glass was widely touted as the “perfect” design for the drop, allowing those drinking from it to experience the meticulously-balanced flavour of a Central Otago Pinot Noir, exactly as it was made.
Now, after production of the original stopped a few years ago, Riedel is reintroducing this incredibly popular style in an even more appealing iteration. Seeing the fine, machine-blown crystal glass perched on an elegant Riedel Veritas stem, the Central Otago Pinot Noir glass is back and better than ever, arriving just in time for our red wine obsession to get into full swing (and we couldn’t be happier about it).
If, like us, you are desperate to get your hands on some, The Studio of Tableware can provide them from the very first delivery just landed in New Zealand, so you can pick up a pair (or six) right now.
Celebrating the glass’ arrival, The Studio of Tableware is also offering a special, gift-boxed pair for $99 (instead of the usual $130), while in a similar vein, we have decided to mark the return of this stellar vessel by giving two lucky Denizens the chance to win a set of six each. (See below for more details.)
So this season, don’t do your Pinot Noir a disservice by settling for any old glass. Opt for one of these striking, purpose-made iterations, for a wine-tasting experience you’re unlikely to forget.
To celebrate the return of this covetable vessel, we’re giving away a set of six Riedel Central Otago Pinot Noir glassesto two lucky Denizens.
The undisputed hero of cold-weather dressing, a good jacket will make all the difference to an otherwise unremarkable outfit. Sensible and sleek, here are the styles to consider.
The Teddy Sumptuous and warm, this tactile style is as beloved for its comfort as it is for its slightly bulky look. Here, Prada has innovated the classic Teddy jacket by crafting it from recycled polyester and adding panels and exposed zips where the pockets sit, leaning into that sporty, functional aesthetic.
Left: Be inspired by Dior Men’s Pre-Fall 21 collection; Right: Workshop Denim Men’s Woollen Chore Jacket.
The Utility Taking its style cues from military garb, the utility jacket has become an ‘it’ piece — and it’s easy to see why. From its flattering, masculine shape to its practical pockets this trans-seasonal jacket will sharpen up any look.
The Bomber Another jacket inspired by military-style, the bomber is the perfect in-between. Not too casual, not too formal, this style is made to suit your vibe, whatever that may be. This season, emulate Louis Vuitton’s new version by eschewing neutrals and choosing something in a bolder pattern or colour. You won’t regret it.
The Overcoat The classic overcoat is, without question, something every guy should have in their wardrobe. Whether you throw it over your work attire or a tracksuit on the weekends, this versatile piece will stick with you through any season.
The Tailored Coat Every man needs one spectacular coat in their wardrobe. Tailored to fit your shape and style perfectly, this defiantly formal coat will lend you an air of sartorial superiority and promises to make heads turn every time.
The Leather The ‘bad boy’ of outerwear has undergone an image upgrade. While it certainly hasn’t lost its edge, the leather jacket has evolved from the uniform of motorbike enthusiasts and tough guys to a piece that feels right at home in the high-fashion space. Be aware that a proper leather jacket is designed to last for far more than one season, so quality is everything.
Multi-hyphenate Carly Black is based in Auckland where, by day, she works as an Account Manager for Coffee Supreme looking after around 70 cafes in the Coromandel, Northland and Auckland. She also spends “every spare minute” doing freelance illustration or graphic design work — mostly for independent, owner-operated hospitality businesses or winemakers. You probably recognise her charming illustrations from the signage of K’ Rd pasta favourite Pici, or maybe you’ve seen her cheerful, keep-cup-toting sandwich on the Ol’ Mate food truck.
Here, Black gives us an insight into her tastes, including her favourite places to eat, some great podcast recommendations and more.
What I do for a job described in one sentence: Account manager for Coffee Supreme by day, freelance graphic designer and illustrator by night.
My personal style can be defined by: Someone recently described my style as normcore. Generally I aspire to look like a piece of moss. Lots of greens, and mustards, browns and textured pieces. I also can’t seem to walk past a piece of corduroy without buying it.
The last thing I bought and loved was: A set of Temuka salt and pepper shakers from David N White Gallery in Wellington.
An unforgettable place I visited was: I did a camping road trip around the East Cape this summer with the dog. I loved it. I saw Te Waha o Rerekohu in Te Araroa — the oldest Pohutukawa in New Zealand — she’s six hundred years old.
The next place I’d like to go to: I’d love to do a South Island trip this winter. Maybe the Inland Pack Track on the West Coast. I think Kaiser [Black’s two-year-old whippet] would appreciate being left at home under the heat pump for that one.
Clockwise from top left: Carly Black illustration; Coffee Supreme mug; Plastic Bouquet album; Natural wine with label designed by Carly; Niki de Saint Sculpture.
The design (building, person, item) that inspires me is: My first reference is and always will be Niki de Saint Phalle. She was introduced to me by my German mother — three of her sculptures are in my home town of Hanover, in Northwestern Germany. I love naïve art in general. It’s nostalgic and joyous. Most of my illustrations look like someone’s doodled on the page in math class, and I love that quality of it.
My favourite app is: I’ve gotten into cryptocurrency quite recently, the last six months, so I do find myself glued to my wallet app, Exodus.
My guilty pleasure is: A really great bottle of natural wine paired with something deep fried.
My secret talent is: Looking like an extrovert when I’m the biggest introvert you’ll ever meet.
My morning routine is: Wake up, feed my dog Kaiser, share a cup of Coffee Supreme™ with my neighbour Hazel, who is also conveniently the owner of Fur & Forest, a dog pack-walking company. Very quickly get ready for work and then head to one of the cafes I look after for a catch up and another cuppa.
In my fridge you’ll always find: Jars and jars of pickled things, brined things, chutneys, anything to reduce my food waste.
My favourite room in my house is: My living room is south-west facing, so I get the dreamiest golden hour and sunsets. Ponsonby always gets the best sunsets.
The last meal out I had that truly impressed me was: This is such a difficult question. Like Gogo Music Cafe on Dominion Road is it for me. Spicy chili and cumin covered meat skewers, and giant wheat noodles with chicken curry never ceases to impress me. Close runners up are Pici and Ockhee.
The podcasts I listen to are: Oh man I always get embarrassed by my podcast choices. This American Life, Philosophize This!, CBC’sMissing & Murdered is a really good introspective podcast series on indigenous women who’ve gone missing.
The last music I downloaded was: ‘Plastic Bouquet‘ by Marlon Williams with Kacy & Clayton.
If I wasn’t doing what I am, I would be: Off grid on some self-sustainable land somewhere south.
I have a collection of: Coffee mugs. So so many coffee mugs.
My favourite way to unwind is: Heading off into Riverhead Forest with Kaiser for a couple hours. There’s no reception or internet coverage, bonus.

A well-stocked cellar is (we think) one of life’s great pleasures, and an Amisfield subscription service is ensuring you’ll never be left wanting when the occasion arises to source a bottle of exceptional wine from within the comfort of your own home.
The acclaimed Amisfield Bistro & Cellar Door boasts one of the largest, single-estate vineyards in Central Otago, and Amisfield Wine Club is dedicated to offering wine connoisseurs, gastronomes and casual enthusiasts alike the opportunity to access a superior cellar offering with a large number of perks.
With no joining fee — just a commitment to purchasing two cases of 12 bottles per year — Amisfield Wine Club is a truly accessible way to sample the vineyard’s exquisite vintages. Members of the Amisfield Wine Club receive discounts on all Amisfield wines and at the restaurant itself, plus a personal allocation of new-release wines, access to exclusive pre-releases and select cellar and limited edition wines.
You can expect invitations to Amisfield events and a highlight is one complimentary wine masterclass per year for you and three guests — an in-depth, educational and informative wine tasting session, with an overview of the history of Amisfield Estate and the Central Otago region.
In further exciting news, 2021 is Amisfield’s first vintage from which all of the grapes (and subsequent wines) will be certified as organic, by BioGro New Zealand. The culmination of a five-year process, full organic status is no mean feat, and Amisfield’s organic conversion is part of a multitude of ongoing sustainability initiatives at Amisfield. The conversion has resulted in soil health and biodiversity improvements, plus greater differentiation of flavour profile from block to block as the vines are able to assert their own unique personality into each exquisite wine.
That being said, there’s never a better time to join Amisfield’s wine club, and with complimentary freight available for every subscription delivery in New Zealand and Australia, it’s a brilliant way to treat yourself — or another lucky recipient.
You must be 18 years or older to subscribe to this service.
Once again taking the lead in the bid to reduce plastic waste and offer cleaner, safer products for the home and body, Ecostore has just launched its new Cleaner Concentrates — and they’re genius.
Packed in tiny glass bottles with recyclable lids (creating 90 percent less plastic waste), the formulas are 10-times concentrated and are designed to be combined with tap water in reusable spray bottles. When mixed with water, they boast the exact same cleaning power as Ecostore’s regular 500ml spray cleaners.
“Every time our customer uses the new ecostore refill concentrate bottle, they use 90 percent less plastic waste because each spray head lasts for 24 refills,” says Ecostore group CEO Pablo Kraus. “This can make a 1.46kg of plastic saving and we can divert 6,450kgs of plastic waste from landfills each year.”
There are currently three variations of Cleaner Concentrate available, all made from plant-based ingredients and enabling the user to tackle different areas of the house with ease.
The Multi-Purpose Cleaner Refill Concentrate is an effective antibacterial cleaner that makes cleaning oil, food, dust and dirt a breeze. It can be used on hard household surfaces, bench tops, appliances and walls — while the Glass Cleaner Refill Concentrate is perfect for leaving a streak-free finish on windows, mirrors and glass surfaces.
The Bathroom and Shower Refill Concentrate cuts easily through dirt, soap scum and hard water spots using citric acid — a safer alternative to Benzalkonium Chloride that is proven to kill common household germs and bacteria.
The release of these new products couldn’t have come at a better time, with World Environment Day on Saturday 5th of June prompts us to once again be reminded that we have a long way to go in terms of reducing our plastic footprint. But by embracing this inspiring new initiative from Ecostore we can play a small part in the wider cause.
When it comes to individual progress, an accumulation of small actions carried out consistently everyday makes a difference, and with Ecostore’s Cleaner Concentrates, you can be sure that you can keep both your home and your conscience spick and span.
A good book in one hand, a cup of something warm (or strong) in the other — if you were to say there’s no better way to spend a dreary winter day, we’d tend to agree. From electrifying debuts to magical masterpieces, curl up this winter with these compelling reads and let peak happiness ensue.
Open Waterby Caleb Azumah Nelson Centred around two Black artists who fall in love after meeting at a pub in London, this story follows the ups and downs of their relationship as they seek to make their mark on a city that simultaneously embraces and isolates them. Hailed as an exquisite debut, and praised for its poignant insight, tender treatment and soulful intensity, Caleb Azumah Nelson’s tale is as much about a powerful and sometimes painful love story as it is an exploration of race and masculinity and has cemented the author as a force to be reckoned with.
The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz Jacob Finch Bonner is a once-promising novelist who, having fallen short of success, has taken to teaching an MFA programme. But everything changes after an arrogant student boasts about his first novel before suddenly dying, an event that sees Jacob commit to a life-changing lie.
Peacesby Helen Oyeyemi From this award-winning author comes the magical story of a couple who embark on a sleeper train that they soon discover is no ordinary locomotive. Vivid, inventive and spellbinding, this novel is about what it means to be seen by another person and will keep you enthralled from start to finish.
Animal by Lisa Taddeo Another notable debut, this book follows the story of a woman who, after a lifetime enduring the cruelty of men, decides to turn the tables. Described as an astonishing masterpiece, this novel offers up a visceral depiction of female rage and is electrifying and gripping in equal measure.
Should We Stay or Should We Goby Lionel Shriver After watching her father die from Alzheimer’s, Kay Wilkinson and her husband Cyril make a suicide pact, to be carried out when they turn 80. But then, they turn 80. Equally serious and hilarious, Shriver’s narrative combines 12 parallel universes to explore how Kay and Cyril’s future could possibly turn out.
For Claudia Li, creativity has always been effortless. The Auckland and New York-based fashion designer grew up with a legacy of artists on her mother’s side and an art dealer father, from whom the urge to craft was intrinsically nurtured from a young age.
“Creativity wasn’t something they taught me,” she says, “it was baked into the way they lived, and it was normal.” This extended to a love of fashion, and when it came time for Li to study, fashion design seemed like a natural next step. Now, Li is one of the industry’s most exciting independent designers with a host of accolades and experience already under her belt.
Claudia Li.
Raised between New Zealand and Singapore, Li moved to London, aged 19 to study at Central Saint Martins and was then recommended to the Parsons MFA programme which prompted a move to New York. “That was one of the best career-defining decisions I have ever made,” she says.
What followed were stints on the design teams for Brandon Maxwell’s Haus of Gaga label and at JW Anderson, and in 2015, Li debuted the first collection under her own, eponymous label at New York Fashion Week.
Claudia Li Fall 20.
With its bold, colourful and irreverent aesthetic, Claudia Li the label has been worn by a host of powerful celebrities, tastemakers and even politicians — Michelle Obama, Karlie Kloss, Eva Chen, and Bella Hadid, to name a few. In 2017, Li was named a Forbes 30 Under 30 Art and Style honouree.
Although Li’s CV boasts the kind of work experience most designers would dream of, one of the main things she’s learned is also fundamentally simple. “I’ve learned so much from my past experiences, but I think the most important lessons I learned are to be kind and be grateful”, she says.

“I really love the fact that everyone on my team is genuinely kind and down to earth. I am really lucky to have such an amazing team and together we’ve created an awesome working environment which is essential to produce great work.”
Having returned to Auckland due to the pandemic, Li says the past year has been both challenging and enlightening. “I’ve been rethinking the whole system we base our business on. How, when and what we create. How, when and what we sell,” she says. “I think in some ways, the pandemic ‘pause’ really made the noise go away, at least for me.”
An accelerating system of ‘more, next, new, fast’ needed to be rethought, says Li, and she’s now working on moving her brand forward in a more conscious way, working with her New York team and establishing more of a base in New Zealand as she does so.
Essentially, Li is aiming to do much more than just feed into the never ending appetite for newness. Designing is her way of sharing a narrative and sparking connection. “Some of us don’t just want to sell clothes, we’re also trying to connect with our audiences on an emotional level. We’re trying to tell our stories.”
You’d never call them complacent, as the duo behind Culprit, Little Culprit, Lowbrow and Nook has just opened a sweet new coffee shop in the central city. Named Double Double, the freshly minted cafe is located right next to Elliot Stables, a java-slinging oasis in the middle of it all.
The opportunity to open Double Double came about a few months ago, says co-owner Jordan MacDonald, and what solidified it was the layout of the space when they checked it out initially. “It had great bones,” says MacDonald, “with a brick wall, high stud and a banquette that we could see would be beautiful re-covered.”
The interior is small — only around 10 seats — and there’s no kitchen, meaning it’s a slightly more low-maintenance affair than their other restaurants. However, they’ve made sure the offering is still characteristically delicious with toasted sandwiches, baked goods from Ponsonby bakery Il Forno (where Lowbrow’s buns are made), Coffee Supreme coffee, and some outrageously good sweet treats invented by MacDonald and co-chef and owner Kyle Street.
Double Double’s toasted sandwiches are all made with Il Forno focaccia, and you’ll find flavours like Truffle & Cheese, comprising truffle salt, gruyere bechamel and mushroom paste; a mortadella, swiss cheese, rocket, red pepper and mayo iteration; chicken schnitzel with rocket, mozzarella and tomato kasundi; and grilled eggplant, red pepper jam, mozzarella and rocket. There will also be specials and the menu will likely change seasonally.
The sweets selection is like nothing you’ll find anywhere else. Cornflake Crack Brownie is a heavenly combination of chocolate brownie base topped with a caramelised cornflake layer. Peanut butter and jam drop cookies are like a supreme version of a Shrewsberry biscuit, and there’s a pretzel loaf cake with golden syrup icing, a gluten-free sweet granola slice — and more.
Like the sandwich selection, the selection may change depending on what’s popular and/or seasonal. We can confidently say this will be a must-visit for breakfast and lunchtime punters who are after some of the tastiest coffee, sandwiches and sweet treats in town.
Fostering a spirit of community and connection has long been a cornerstone pursuit for Maggie Hewitt, founder of lauded New Zealand fashion brand Maggie Marilyn. This philosophy was shown to be more starkly important than ever throughout the last year, and when it came to designing her latest ‘Forever’ capsule additions, it was from a renewed emphasis on togetherness that Hewitt drew her inspiration.
This concept also became the catalyst for Maggie Marilyn’s exciting debut presentation at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week 2021, where the brand is showcasing its new capsule with a beautiful cinematic creation A Brave New World — today at5PM NZT. As the name would suggest, this feature explores the changed frontier we’ve now found ourselves in, gradually trying to emerge from the pandemic with optimism, empathy and inspiration.

Shot across 120 acres of countryside at The Range in Byron Bay and directed by Duc Thinh Dong, A Brave New World drew on some of Australia’s brightest talents to create a spirited visual showcase for Maggie Marilyn’s latest designs. Producer Lauren Barge, photographer Dan Roberts and stylist Emma Kalfus lent their skills to the project, which features an enchanting cast of models and muses including Shimma Marie, Mahalia Handley and New Zealand’s own Manahou Mackay wearing the brand’s covetable pieces.
A palette of rich, chocolatey brown and buttery yellow is punctuated by enchanting pops of azure blue and shimmering gold; sumptuous cream and signature prints. We love the effortless silhouette of the Bobbi Boyfriend Pant and the matching chocolate Make A Livin’ blazer; the ankle-grazing George Carey coat in either check or bubblegum pink, and the showstopping Bridgerton dress.

For this collection and its subsequent showcase, Maggie Marilyn also partnered with two like-minded designers — footwear brand Nelson Made and jewellery designer Mineraleir — to create limited-edition, consciously made accessories that solidify the capsule’s aesthetic right down to the finer details.
True to Maggie Marilyn’s core pillar of sustainability, the new Forever pieces are timeless, intended for wear all year round. They are crafted from traceable and organic or repurposed fibres, made in New Zealand with a focus on responsible manufacturing and ethical practices. Once again, the brand has created pieces that will both add an exciting dose of freshness to our wardrobe, while being cherished for years to come.
In celebration of this highly-anticipated launch, Maggie Marilyn has offered to give one lucky Denizen reader the ultimate shopping experience worth $2,500. With this you’ll receive a personalised shopping session with Maggie Marilyn’s Head of Retail where you will walk away with a mixture of new Forever and Somewhere pieces followed by a delicious lunch for you and a friend at Kingi, Britomart.
Queenstown’s award-winning sensory experience, Luma is back after a year’s hiatus. Bringing together illuminated art, light sculpture, performance and community events over four days during Queen’s Birthday weekend, the event promises to enliven the Queenstown Gardens on the shores of Lake Wakatipu.
Working with over 500 contributors, from the established and renowned New Zealand light artist Angus Muir, to up-and-coming artists such as Christchurch creative Drew Hill, Luma is now in its seventh year, and it just keeps getting better.
As Muir notes, the Queenstown Gardens is a spectacular location thanks to its natural lack of ambient light, serving to highlight the installations that much more. While in 2019, Luma attracted nearly 60,000 domestic and international visitors, there’s hope that the 2021 iteration may be witnessed by even more.
So, if you’re thinking of spending your Queen’s Birthday weekend in Queenstown, we suggest you commit soon, as this cornerstone arts and culture event will be one you won’t want to miss.

5pm-10pm,
Friday 4th — Monday 7th of June

“Previously, most apartments were designed more or less as white boxes, and rather than being driven by design, were dictated by factors like location or number of rooms”, Sebastian Hamilton of architecture and design studio Monk Mackenzie tells me. “But now, the clientele are becoming more sophisticated and not only have an appreciation for the design of these boutique builds, but expect design to really be at the forefront.”
Speaking with Hamilton, alongside his colleague Hamish Monk, it is clear the significant way Auckland’s lifestyle is changing. Thanks to the City’s Unitary Plan, the character and makeup of the inner-city and urban fringe suburbs are on a trajectory towards higher-density housing and apartment living, as The City of Sails evolves to meet the more cosmopolitan demands of its residents. But apartment living doesn’t have to signal the end of interesting architecture or luxurious design. In fact, as entities like Monk Mackenzie are proving, the reality is quite the opposite.
Recently, Monk Mackenzie completed the design for a new development at 44 St George’s Bay Road, Parnell and in doing so, forced us to re-examine our assumptions of what apartment living is. Simply called St George’s Bay Road, this new, boutique apartment building is comprised of only three, carefully-designed units in total (each on its own floor) and combines proximity to Auckland City with space, privacy and a true sense of luxury that will endure.
“St George’s Bay Road is an apartment building, so it should look like an apartment building and be urban in character,” explains Monk, “but we wanted to design it with a sense of permanence, solidity and rich materiality. Lower St George’s Bay Road has all these beautiful old concrete and brick buildings that are pretty unapologetic in their scale so we wanted our design to relate to its existing context, while bearing in mind that this would also change over time.”
Indeed, Monk Mackenzie’s focus on materiality feels central to the success of this project. Not wanting to make the development feel too commercial, the architects opted for materials like brick and stone over aluminium and steel, to lend a more handmade, unique sensibility. Creating a clever contrast between the ideas of roughness and fineness, they played with the resulting tension to design something that was simultaneously robust and refined — where the stoic, solid ground level (rendered entirely in textural concrete) exists as a kind of plinth for the more finely-finished floors above.
The use of post-tension concrete — a clever reinforcing technique — allowed the architects to reduce the amount of concrete needed and cantilever out the edges of the building with minimal support, emphasising the idea of the top part being light and almost effortless. As Monk explains, “there is an often-used architectural language around expressing all of a structure so that it feels quite overt and honest… but sometimes, it’s nice to make things look easy when they’re not.”
From the street, the development will stand proud, its façade a contemporary lattice screen structure that will afford residents complete privacy while still allowing ample light into each apartment and facilitating a view out onto the street. During the daytime, the screen façade will make a bold, architectural statement while at night, it will take on a softer appearance, radiating warmly with the glow of the apartments behind.
Inside, the focus on quality continues, where carefully-selected joinery and exposed, natural materials work to lend a weightiness to the generous living spaces. “We wanted to give the interiors a sense of gravitas and depth,” says Monk, “so there’s quite a reduced palette and where we used raw finishes like the concrete for the ceilings, we countered them with the softness and richness of timber floors.”
Calling on Amelia Holmes to help with the interiors, Monk Mackenzie conceived spaces that feel pared back, calm and uber-luxurious. White-washed maple hardwood floors provide the perfect canvas for standout central areas, like the kitchens, with their generously-proportioned, natural stone benchtops, granite sinks and exquisite, locally-manufactured bronze cabinetry.
The bathrooms follow in a similar vein, with sleek, black travertine vanities, custom built-in sinks and concealed drawer and mirror storage. Even in the bedrooms, full-height Matisse wardrobes with timber and glass doors and custom internal fitouts (fashioned according to the residents’ needs) reflect the designers’ desire to offer luxury that is thoughtful and that never comes at the cost of practicality.
From the vast floor space occupied by each apartment, to the direct elevator access from the building’s lobby, to the expansive, floor-to-ceiling windows, affording each residence a sweeping view from the Waitematā Harbour to the city, the St George’s Bay Road apartments are clever, considered and destined to set a new standard for sophisticated, urban living in this city. Now under construction, we’re predicting high demand from those seeking a situation that is convenient and easy to manage, but that doesn’t scrimp on the finer details — a rare and desirable combination.
These days, a fried chicken craving needn’t be fulfilled at a greasy fast food joint or on a bad hangover. From karaage to buttermilk, Korean fried to Southern-style, the number of eateries putting their own spin on this crunchy, tender, deep-fried delight is impressive to say the least — for which we count ourselves lucky. For your perusal, we’ve compiled the best places in Auckland to get a fix of the good stuff.
Azabu What do you get when you combine Peruvian and Japanese cuisine? Criminally tasty buttermilk karaage chicken with pickled daikon and mayo laced with aji amarillo — a yellow, fruity South American pepper. Both Ponsonby and Mission Bay locations have their own take on this classic dish, so you can get your fix wherever suits.
Gochu.
Gochu There are many reasons to visit Commercial Bay’s modern Korean restaurant Gochu, and the fried chicken is a strong contender for the top of the list. Head chef Jason Kim has made sure his signature fried chicken is irresistibly sticky, crunchy and juicy. Heat seekers would do well to order ‘Jason’s fried chicken, but spicier’.
Hello Beasty.
Hello Beasty An essential addition to any order at this Viaduct favourite, Hello Beasty’s kaarage chicken is served with a sweet-leaning Japanese-style BBQ sauce. A lemon wedge on the side means you can cut through the richness with a refreshing zing of citrus — making this one seriously moreish dish.
The Chamberlain.
The Chamberlain A fresh new fried chicken menu has landed at Britomart bar and eatery The Chamberlain, and it’s described as being ‘tasty as cluck’. Tailored to your liking, you can pick from white meat (breast and wing), brown meat (thigh and drum), tender fillets or classic wings, and choose your spice level from four tongue-tingling options. Served with sliced bread and pickles, the only thing that could make it more perfect is pairing it with one of The Chamberlain’s 15 top-notch tap beers.
Nook.
Nook This St Kevins Arcade yakitori spot from the duo behind Lowbrow (read more about its irresistible wings below) and Culprit does great bite-sized pieces of karaage chicken. Free-range pieces of chicken thigh are lightly coated in delicious batter and served with delectable wasabi mayonnaise and a dusting of sesame salt. What more could you want?
Kai Eatery.
Kai Eatery If you like your fried chicken as big as your face, you’re in luck. Serving modern Taiwanese street food, Kai’s infamous ‘XL’ chicken is the Mount Everest of fried chicken — a mighty bite begging to be conquered. Take your pick from three flavours (original, five-spice or flame-kissed charcoal sauce). If you’re not up to the challenge, the fried chicken bites are a good option.
Ebisu As the home of some of the city’s best sushi and sashimi, Ebisu is our go-to when we’re seeking excellent Japanese fare. It’s no surprise then, that the Britomart stalwart has karaage chicken down to a delicious science. Served with crunchy, fresh mixed carrot salad and soy onion dressing, we even feel a little virtuous after polishing off this perfectly balanced dish.
Peach’s Hot Chicken.
Peach’s Hot Chicken Specialising in authentic Nashville hot chicken, Peach’s Hot Chicken is so popular the former food truck transitioned to a restaurant in East Auckland’s Panmure. Choose your spice level (ranging from mild to Holy Cluck — described as a religious experience) and enjoy it served on either a piece of soft white bread, inside a tender brioche bun, or piled atop waffles.
Simon & Lee’s KFC (Korean Fried Chicken).
Simon & Lee Get your hit of KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) at Simon & Lee, the Parnell eatery that indulges our desire to order chicken for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There’s the KFC chicken lunchbox, which pairs chicken with slaw, pickles, shoestring fries and aioli; chicken nibbles ranging in spice level up to ‘danger spicy’ (you’ve been warned); a fried chicken burger and finally the fried chicken bao. Consider this fried chicken heaven — complete with disposable gloves to keep your paws pristine.
Beau.
Beau Fans of Freaky (the now defunct CBD cafe) are eternally grateful that its famous fried chicken lives on at Beau. A triumph with sesame mayo, this Ponsonby wine bar makes fried chicken and a crisp glass of something good taste like the height of sophistication.
Winner Winner.
Winner Winner Born in Hamilton, this joint is so popular it’s since established branches in Wellington, Pukekohe and Takapuna. Specialising in all things chicken, these guys know a thing or two about creating a winning chicken dinner. Brined for 12 hours and fried in buttermilk, boneless bites can be ordered with ranch and pickles, in a sandwich or stuffed in a burger with white BBQ sauce and crispy onions. With three spice levels to keep any palate happy, this is the perfect quick pitstop for a no-frills feed.
Ockhee.
Ockhee Ponsonby Korean restaurant Ockhee serves up two different (yet equally delicious) takes on Korean fried chicken. The sweet chilli and a roasted peanut glaze is delightfully sticky and syrupy while spicy soy and sesame glazed has a deep umami flavour. We recommend pairing with the Chun Sa Chae noodle salad for a deliciously fresh contrast.
Lowbrow.
Lowbrow As our go-to purveyors of fancy fast food, Lowbrow throws down a bloody good fried bird, taking its interpretation of this naughty nibble very seriously. The chicken sando is a thing of beauty, incorporating American cheese, iceberg, McClure’s pickles, and mac sauce with free-range chicken thigh, and the organic chicken wings… let’s just say a bucket disappears remarkably quickly.
Chop Chop’s Cobra Kai ramen with fried chicken.
Chop Chop Noodle House If ramen is the first thing you think of when Chop Chop comes to mind, fried chicken should be a close second. The Ponsonby noodle house can’t get enough of the stuff, whether its dripping with chilli sauce, crushed peanuts and yum yum mayo, crispy with hot Ssäm sauce or placed atop of a piping hot bowl of ramen as a delicious pièce de résistance.
As an SUV with a stellar reputation for both practicality and luxury, the Land Rover Discovery needs no introduction. What might need more of an introduction, however, are the facelifted features of the new Land Rover Discovery — freshly debuted in the New Zealand market this year, with an extremely impressive array of updates since Discovery’s last version.
Encompassing both the exterior and interior in a sleek design refresh, the new Disco also boasts superior technological updates such as a new, highly-intelligent infotainment system, plus even more capacity for both passengers and luggage. There are three tiers of model available on our shores; the R-Dynamic S, the R-Dynamic SE, and the R-Dynamic HSE.
Without further ado, here are the key updates to know about the Land Rover Discovery.
New style upgrades add even more refinement Forging ahead in its streamlining of exterior aesthetic elements, the front grille is now rendered in a more visually regular honeycomb-style, rather than the previous split frontage. Headlights and rear lights have also been updated; continuously-flowing LED lights now grace the front, replacing the former, dissected lights and new wheel designs are available in 20-to-22-inch, five split-spoke style.
Inside, the stylish updates continue, with a new steering wheel brought over from the latest Defender, and a new toggle-style gear selector. Seats have also been given a facelift with the second row now offering longer bases for improved under-thigh support, and the choice of materials spanning classic leather or a new, sustainable non-leather trim.
The most intuitive infotainment system yet allows for ultimate connection It’s always a joy when automobile technology is effortless (especially when you’re trying to concentrate on the road) and the Discovery’s new ‘Pivi Pro’ touchscreen interface not only incorporates a high-definition, 11.4inch touchscreen — that’s 48 percent larger than previous models — but it also facilitates advanced features such as an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot powered by a 4G LTE data connection, able to give real-time traffic-and-weather updates without any slow-down.
There are nine USB ports dotting the cabin, and it’s easier than ever to keep little ones entertained on longer journeys with novel tablet-holding accessories that can be set up in the rear seating. The Pivi Pro system also enables wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone mirroring, while two Bluetooth devices can be connected at once — no more disagreements on that front.
More space than ever before makes every journey tremendously comfortable Even long-distance roadies can be undergone in a breeze thanks to seven genuine seats. The R-Dynamic S also incorporates heated 14-way electric front seats with a comfortable captain’s armrest, while the R-Dynamic SE is even more luxurious with heated 18-way electric memory front seats. The R-Dynamic HSE takes the overall comfort one step further with heated second-row seats as well. With all the seats folded down, there’s a vast 2485 litre boot volume, and 41.8 litres of cubby spaces means those belongings will be saved from rattling around in what is clearly a very roomy vehicle.
