As part of the revitalization, a state-of-the-art glass canopy was installed over the impressive atrium, designed and engineered by Octatube.
On behalf of De Vries and Verburg, Issos produced and installed two wooden canopies with surrounding seating for this large atrium. These freestanding spruce “Crowns” serve both decorative and acoustic purposes. They consist of ten openwork rings in a trapezoidal shape that reach toward the atrium canopy. The canopies are made up of 153 unique angles, with no single component straight, presenting a major challenge during production and installation. Our installation team deserves high praise for their outstanding work.
Both canopies are fully demountable, with no glued parts, and were fitted with integrated colorful LED lighting. The color loop enhances the visual impact, making the canopies even more impressive eye-catchers.
RoosRos Architects was responsible for the technical design, and ABT bv served as the Architect of Record.
Yes, we do that regularly, for example in museums! We have extensive experience with structural requirements, additional permitting processes, and respecting original features during renovations or transformations. The bigger the challenge, the more rewarding the work!
We consider routing, acoustics, sightlines, materials, and maintenance. Everything must not only look good but also be logical, safe, and durable in use – especially in sectors such as government, culture, and airports.
Yes. Our team is trained, vetted, and familiar with the procedures. We regularly work in areas with restricted access and strict logistics, such as airports or government facilities.
Yes. We have the organization, network, and experience to operate simultaneously at multiple locations across the Netherlands – with centralized coordination and local execution.
Sure. We regularly work in construction teams with external architects, contractors and consultants. We coordinate our role flexibly: from interior construction alone to taking care of the entire process.
No. We also take on smaller assignments and sub-projects with the same care and professionalism. Think of reception areas, pantries, meeting rooms or custom solutions where quality and detail are important.
Turnkey means that we take care of the entire process: from engineering to planning, execution and aftercare. One point of contact, one schedule, one result. No separate links, but one sleek whole.
Yes. We have our own production in-house and work with a permanent group of high-quality production partners. We engineer, plan and coordinate everything — including production, installation and delivery. This is how we guarantee quality, planning and a high level of finish.
Because we contribute ideas from practice to the practical feasibility of a project. We often see where bottlenecks can arise and how to prevent them — technically, financially or architecturally. This way, you prevent delays and failure costs.
