Smart living at the heart of Doha.

A marketing site and companion home-automation app for Msheireb Downtown Doha: the world's first sustainable downtown. The site sells the district's vision; the app puts climate, energy, devices and visitor access in residents' hands.

Overview

One district, two surfaces

Msheireb Downtown Doha is a fully sustainable, hyper-connected district, and it needed a digital presence to match. The challenge: tell a world-class urban story and hand residents real control of their homes.

We shaped both halves. A cinematic marketing site walks visitors from the signature tram through recognition, services and resident life. A companion app turns the smart-home promise into everyday taps: temperature dials, energy estimates, device rooms and family access.

We owned the experience and the front-end across both: the responsive marketing site, the app's home, control and access flows, and a single visual language rooted in Msheireb's plum, teal and desert-cream identity.
