SentralHome Redefined

Facilitating a new flexible lifestyle for nomadic workers

Following a seismic societal shift towards remote work and nomadic living, Sentral has found a niche by offering short, long and swappable stays at apartments in the heart of America’s most desirable cities. A bright identity, playful art direction and iconic logo all embody the brand’s concept of Home+, which encapsulates this new approach to living.

Sentral is an urban network of connected, residential communities that is establishing a new category in flexible living. A collaboration between real-estate investment firms Iconiq, Highgate, and Ascendant, the brand was born to cater for the fast-growing number of people no longer required to live or work in one place.
Sentral members can choose between furnished or unfurnished, serviced apartments in newly renovated buildings packed with amenities – staying as long as they desire in exciting cities like Los Angeles, Denver, Austin, and Miami. And when they’re ready for a change, it's easy to swap locations or temporarily rent out their apartments while away, all through a simple app.
Since the brand merges much larger ideas about how we live, travel and explore, Sentral required a bold and playful identity to tap younger generations who are increasingly adopting a more mobile lifestyle. A bright and optimistic shade of yellow alludes to the energy and opportunity that this way of living facilitates.
At the center of the identity – quite literally – is a “+” icon that not only replaces the “T” in Sentral, but represents the accretive concept of Home+ and all the additional benefits that come with being part of the Sentral community. The tagline, “Home is when you belong,” also denotes a community that is connected emotionally, as well as technologically through the app, at any time or place.
While the + symbol visually ties together all Sentral properties, illustrations by Chris Delorenzo adorn the walls of the building lobbies to encapsulate what’s unique about each location. Animated versions of his drawings also enliven the brand’s digital spaces. The playful sketches accompany photography that follows hospitality and fashion tropes, casting a wide array of characters to showcase the varied lifestyle aspects and inclusive nature of the brand.
Sentral is poised to fundamentally change the way people live, setting a standard for a more open and flexible definition of “home”. After launching in 2021 across nine US locations, plans are afoot for national and international expansion so that very soon, Home+ will be available to a far-reaching community of potential nomads. Now that is a plus.
