Thomas D’hooghe’s
quest for Utopia
With his Pop-up Hotel initiative, digital entrepreneur Thomas
D’hooghe wants to create spaces to slow down, to stop and
smell the proverbial roses. Last summer, he set up camp in the
Bulskampveld in Bruges with a number of ‘tiny houses’. These
15-m2 living spaces each contain a compost toilet, a shower,
a kitchen, two seating areas, a two-person bed, storage space
and sometimes even a rooftop terrace. In short, they perfectly
combine sustainability with optimum use of space. Furthermore,
each tiny house was accompanied by one of our tools for
togetherness. Needless to say, we had to have a talk with him.
