PALOMA SPOTS
The perfect match between an old-school apartment in Ostend and a talented Antwerp designer
THE ATMOSPHERE
You already know the artists behind this project: It’s the team from the Pilar Hotel in Antwerp. They have embarked on a second project: the renovation of an old-school apartment in Ostend. The challenge is more than successful and the result is great. In love with Ostend, their dream was to own an apartment 5 minutes walk from the beach and more precisely from the famous Thermae Palace. Located in a charming street with authentic houses, the building outside the apartment does not seem to house such an exceptional apartment. Similar to the Pilar, Paloma Spots offers a so-called "chaotic minimalist" design reminiscent of raw and pure concrete.
THE HOTEL
During the visit, Sam, owner and designer, tells us that the apartment was originally occupied by a family. The back of the apartment has two bedrooms that can accommodate up to 4 people, a bathroom and a narrow balcony that is sunny in the morning. At the front, a high-tech kitchen, a living room and a dining table overlook a large bay window. Everything has been thought of to reuse a maximum of materials already present on the premises as well as furniture and decorative elements already acquired previously.
THE service
The apartment is for rent for a minimum of 6 nights. It will be entirely yours.
THE HOsts
Sam, the owner, is the designer of the apartment. He is also the founder of the interior design office Contekst in Antwerp. The origin of the name Paloma comes from his admiration for Paloma Picasso, daughter of Pablo Picasso, whom he was lucky enough to meet at a party in Barcelona.
