southern section of Amsterdams A10 ring road. Bounded on one side by the South Axis
business district and on the other by the green zone around the Nieuwe Meer (New Lake),
the building maintains a low profile on the side facing the greenery, with a cantilevered

section occupied by the auditorium, and rises up on the city side.
The office building stands on V-shaped columns ranging from nine to twelve metres in
height, allowing motorway users to see the green zone behind the building while also
ensuring that no employee is condemned to a view of the motorway embankment.
Raising the building in this way also allowed room at ground level for a spacious entrance
zone. The glazed entrance lobby is surrounded by green lawns. Running underneath the
building is an approach road for taxis, coaches and board members chauffeurs. A car park
and bicycle garage are located below grade. The auditorium and its foyer can be used by

the entire ING group and has its own entrance with lifts.
The building responds to its surroundings with an intelligent facade design. The long south
elevation has to contend with a high solar heat load and the north elevation with noise andair pollution from the A10 motorway. A double-skin facade ensures a pleasant indoor
climate for all, with the possibility of natural ventilation. On the south side, solar shading
hangs in the facade cavity a natural chimney effect extracts solar heat. The glazed skin
on the motorway side is closed and the cavity is supplied with fresh air drawn from the
south side.

The spaces in the building are naturally air-conditioned with the help of a metal climatic
ceiling. The hot and cold water needed for this is provided by an underground thermal
energy storage system at either end of the site wells were dug to groundwater levels at
150 and 200 metres below grade. Thanks to these and other measures, the building has a
very favourable energy consumption.
The atmosphere inside the building is richly varied, with an alternation of open and
screened spaces. Atriums, loggias, courtyard gardens and patios distributed over the
various levels of the building create the sense of a single, continuous space with numerous
vistas back and forth. There are areas with a panoramic view, like the restaurant, the largeconference room and the auditorium, as well as more introverted working environments.

Unlike ordinary office buildings, ING House has a large number of reception and
conference spaces. It is home the ING Groups board and a large staff, but it is also above
all the flagship of the entire organization.
