As part of the renovation and extension of Museum Paleis Het Loo, a contemporary fountain was introduced to the museum's new entrance courtyard. Positioned at the center of four shallow water-covered glass surfaces, the sculptural fountain forms the focal point of the redesigned public space while allowing natural daylight to reach the underground exhibition spaces below.

CIG was responsible for the engineering and production of the fountain's mirror-polished stainless steel surround. Developed from a detailed 3D production model, the 316L stainless steel structure was fabricated as two precision-formed half-shell sections and polished to Mirror 8 quality. Throughout the engineering process, CIG worked closely with KAAN Architecten to refine the design and ensure the mirror-polished surround could be manufactured and seamlessly integrated into the fountain structure.
