Context

Topia is an app to organise the daily life of any community: visitor access, important alerts, administration and rental of spaces, service payments, an internal communication channel and interactions with the surrounding area. We worked with the Topia team on the app's name, graphic identity, UX and UI.

What every community aspires to be.

01 — Name & icon

From "Utopia": an imaginary, perfect community whose residents, if it existed, would enjoy an almost perfect quality of life.

The icon, Topia's "dome", pays homage to the classic picture of a community with controlled conditions — a kind of synthetic atmosphere that lets its residents live in favourable conditions.

02 — The challenge

Our day‑to‑day actions have gone digital. Since COVID-19, people avoid physical interaction more and more, e‑commerce has taken off, and everyone has had to get used to apps for everyday tasks. Interactions within communities changed too, while the needs (paying for security, booking shared spaces, access control) stayed the same.

03 — The app

Topia brings all of a community's administrative operations together digitally, in one place.

04 — Features

Administration

A web dashboard for the administration: analytics, calendar and resident activity.

Access

Take control of your visitors and save everyone time. Send your visitors a QR code, save the people who visit regularly as favourites, and get a notification when their entry is confirmed.

Events

Get organised with your guests, your family and your community. Book shared social spaces days in advance, share a temporary QR code with your guests, and take part in the community's own events.

Control

Build a better life together in your community with a single tap. One tap reports what is happening: vehicles, rubbish, noise, pets, suspicious activity or anything else.
