CHALLENGE

How could we connect with the specific needs and requirements of younger millenials to showcase these thoughtfully made condominiums?

Red book on a red surface with the black text 'Homes that are just right.'
Y Living had its target audience in the name itself - Gen Y. The homes were built to appeal to their lifestyles and requirements and we aimed to connect with that audience through language & design that they related to.
THE APPROACH

Speak truth to Gen-Y, & let them embrace it

We focused heavily on the copy, and made it personal to Gen-Y. We understood their specific goals, requirements and house-hunting pain points and addressed them head-on.

A no-BS approach

Open brochure with text about the challenges of finding the perfect home, highlighting varying sizes, amenities, and asking what the reader needs.
We understood that millenials have faced some of the toughest challenges when it comes to being stable, settling down, and buying a home. We empathised with them and gave them the answers we knew they would be looking for.

A simple elegance

Our design echoed the project's core USPs, which themselves were tailored to what Gen-Y would want. Simplicity. Comfort. Beauty. Practicality. No unnecessary frills. Through bold colours and relatable content, we aimed to grab their attention and hold it.
RESULT

We didn't just design a brochure, we manifested a promise to Gen Y — one of connection, conversation, and empathy.

Our client had created a unique niche in the real estate market, one not often seen. We turned that into a publication that we knew would resonate with their core audience.

Bringing the vibe to the web

The Y-Living website was much like its brochure. Bold yet simple. Empathetic yet truthful. Informative yet accessible.

Conclusion

This project was unlike any we've done before, connecting to a very niche audience and stripping down design to create a simple and memorable identity for Y-Living.
