FAT
Location: boulevard Scheveningen
On the North Boulevard in Scheveningen, the London-based collective FAT (Fashion Architecture Taste) has realized a spectacular cottage consisting of a white mound (the supervisor's living space) topped by a small (Dutch) house made of concrete.The mound is bisected by a gray castle wall with crenellations, which further accentuates the structure.Smoke is intended to be blown out of the windows of the upper miniature house at regular intervals, suggesting - along with lighting effects - fire.FAT came upon this flickering “light object” through the effect of the lighthouse in foggy weather.
In 2005, the FAT cottage was awarded the FX Award “Best Public Project. In early January 2006, the cottage was included in TPG Post's new series of art stamps.
