Expertise
For a long time, Rijkswaterstaat has wished to make the atrium at Avenue Ceramique in Maastricht more attractive and sustainable. Issos produced and installed a fully sustainable CHILL Garden.
The custom furniture of the Circulair High Innovative Living Lab garden can be used for both sitting and standing. It is made from sustainable, and where possible circular, materials with a low CO2 footprint, including ecoboard and bamboo. The structure is movable, measuring 10 x 10 meters, and can be completely reassembled, as no parts are glued.
The atrium has now become an inviting space once again. It is perfect for welcoming visitors, waiting, enjoying lunch as an extension of the company restaurant, holding meetings, and even exhibiting art.
This project was carried out in the midst of the pandemic, which meant it took some time before employees and visitors could experience it in person.
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.
