Stroom Hut

Stroom Hut or Nonument is a playful place marker on the seafront providing amenities for cyclists and walkers in The Hague, Holland.

​

The project was commissioned by the City of The Hague as a surveillance hut for a bicycle park for the seaside resort of Schrevenige.

​

This little building also acts as a piece of public art and is contained in an object that is part monument, part strange fortification and part folly. 

​

Deriving from seaside architecture, fortifications, lighthouses and earthworks, this monument has a small house on its top that periodically catches fire. 

​

In January 2006, the project was featured on a series of postage stamps showcasing artworks by international artists in the Netherlands.
