Al Erkyah City occupies a strategic location in Lusail City, which is the first and largest sustainable city in Qatar with ambitious and groundbreaking concepts and infrastructure. We were approached by Ariane Holdings to carry out a complete brand rollout from conceptualisation to implementation.

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 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.
