ING House was built as the Amsterdam headquarters of ING, the Dutch bank and insurance group. It is located in Amsterdam’s Southern Axis (Zuidas) financial district outside of the city centre and is located near the A10 ring road.

The building’s iconic postmodern design is the work of Meyer and Van Schooten (MVSA Architects) and was constructed by Heijmans. The project began in 1999 and was completed in 2002.

In 2002, the building was awarded with both the National Steel Award and the European Award for Steel Structures.
