RestBite

In collaboration with Healthy Families, we proposed a design solution to end food insecurity in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland.

Our design solution is a student-operated community kitchen called Restbite, located on university campuses in New Zealand. A partnership with Healthy Families and tertiary education institutions would facilitate the installation of Restbite. This co-located communal cooking space's broader purpose is to foster deeper cultural exchange and social interaction through nourishment and taste as mediators of these conversations. Students from various facilities are brought together in a space where hunger is the universal language to explore their relationship with cooking and eating in a new, convenient way that supports the social, intellectual, and financial needs of student life.
