Inside the Design Doors and Coastal Hotspots
Knokke is a place where the villas are just a bit whiter, the shops just a bit chicer, and the cars just a bit more exotic. Yet, behind the polished veneer lies a culture of ambition. According to production details from Play, Peter Boeckx steps past the design front doors and onto the golf greens to capture the reality of young, trendy locals and driven second-home owners carving out their paths to the top.
The ensemble cast represents a cross-section of wealth creation, blending generational expertise with startups. Many of these figures are balancing international ambitions with ties to the Flemish coast.
Meet the Ambitious Cast Shaping the Coast
The nine figures featured in Knokke Tof offer a glimpse into how luxury ecosystems operate across real estate, beauty, and entertainment. Robin Rouquart, 28, leads the charge with The Mazi Group, a holding encompassing five businesses anchored by the international skincare brand Mazi Beauty. Rouquart’s journey bridges Miami headquarters and Knokke, underpinned by early sacrifices made by his mother.
Meanwhile, the younger generation is pushing into global entertainment. Jake Atlass, 25, acts as the outlier of an established entrepreneurial family. Born by chance in Courchevel during a ski trip, Atlass is pursuing a worldwide pop career with production spanning between Knokke and Los Angeles, having secured a distribution deal with The Orchard, a Sony subsidiary.
