Issos was responsible for the complete realization of the new seating area, from technical detailing and bespoke production to installation and project management. In close collaboration with architect Beyond Space, an interior was developed that seamlessly integrates with the existing airport architecture while adding warmth and comfort to the space.
The design features custom-made furniture and a high-quality floor finish, executed with sustainable materials such as solid wood and a durable Duracryl poured floor. The various seating arrangements were carefully tailored to accommodate different usage scenarios, allowing both solo travelers and groups to sit comfortably without disrupting passenger flow.
This project demonstrates how Issos combines functional requirements, aesthetics, and sustainability in complex, high-traffic environments. The result is a future-proof seating area that enhances the overall experience of Schiphol as an international airport.
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.
