Overview

Around those private studios, we designed shared living spaces that make everyday life softer and more social: a fully equipped bright and spacious kitchen where Sunday pancakes somehow taste better, a coworking space where people work during the day, a cosy lounge, cinema and a garden for quiet coffee breaks.

That balance between “my place” and “our home” is exactly what HOC stands for.

It is not sadness, exactly. It is the sound of feeling at home in Antwerp not yet having happened — a life with all its furniture and none of its rhythm.

Pleasantly hooked on Antwerp: HOC Coliving, community and the city as a daily adventure

I’m happily hooked on Antwerp — the city where I was born and which still manages to surprise me every day. From King Square Mansion on Rotterdamstraat, where I live as part of the warm community at HOC Coliving, I cycle into the city almost every day. For a coffee, to do some shopping at The Barn, but above all to soak up Antwerp: the people, the hustle and bustle, the architecture and the countless stories that seem to come to life here in every street.
