THE BAYU BEAT
A gentle breeze finds its way to the first floor, softly tapping a rhythm against the window. One beat follows another, weaving through the room until a melody begins to take shape. Deeper notes set the pace, while lighter ones dance like leaves carried by the wind. As evening falls, the rhythm makes room for two more, unfolding a place for them to stay. And with one final beat, the music drifts back outside to district Old South, where the beautiful facades of the buildings in the street take over.
THE BAMBOO BLUES
Up on the second floor, the bamboo swings to a rhythm of its own. A playful blues bounces through the luxurious studio-apartment, bending like tall green stems deep in the jungle. As the day rolls into evening, the blues grows warmer, making room for laughter, stories and two more to join the tune. A cosy corner unfolds for the night, while the rhythm carries on. And somewhere between a sway and a smile, the Bamboo Blues plays until morning.
THE TOBACCO TONE
Three floors up, things get a little deeper.
Tobacco brown meets moss green, soft light slips across the wood, and an old jazz tune wouldn’t feel out of place. No doors between moods here — just one open space where morning coffee slowly turns into evening wine. Warm. Mellow. A little moody around the edges. The kind of place that doesn’t ask for attention, but somehow keeps it.
THE CONGA CLAP
Four floors up, the conga starts a conversation.
Clap. Tap. Boom. The room answers back.
A little tropical, a little wild — the kind of rhythm that makes bare feet forget to stand still. Daylight dances across the walls, shadows join the band, and before you know it, the whole place is playing along. No need to keep time here. Just follow the beat and see where it takes you.

" Did you know that the Den Bell building has a 58-metre-high tower?
It was opened in 1954 as a factory and office complex for the Bell Telephone Manufacturing Company. Since 2009, it has served as the administrative centre of the City of Antwerp. "
