Strategy:
Developing a new brand
We adopted a holistic approach of first connecting Al Erkyah City to Lusail City on the philosophy of ‘Cultivated wellness and connective community’. Then we linked every sub-brand to the main brand via a branded house architectural strategy.
Backstory:
The inspiration for visuals
We captured the essence of wellness and took it forward to build a stronger and self-sufficient brand that is not solely dependent on a single brand concept. We developed the brand positioning of “Life well lived” to depict the active and healthy lifestyle being offered to the residents.

The Brandmark
Inspired by both the meaning of “Lusail” which is a plant grown in the deserts of Qatar, and the brand’s offering, we developed a simple logo depicting a flower to serve the purpose of the brand. We integrated all the components of the brand in the logo where the bud of the flower represented wellness, residences and hospitality whilst the enclosed layer represented the education and retail.
The Typography
To form an emotional connection with the audience, we carefully chose readable, elegant and effective typography.
The Colour Palette
To depict harmony and peace, we chose white, off white, and different shades of grey for the core brand to evoke fullness living that is inherent to the brand; we chose different shades of green.

The Sub Brands
We used a mood board with different colour coding to best demonstrate every component of the sub-brand in its true light.
The Website
The brand elements were incorporated well on the digital platform which resulted in a visually appealing and interactive website that won the best site of the Day at the Awwwards.
