The new port building in Antwerp is a symbol for the dynamic, reliable, ambitious and innovative character of the Antwerp port. It is strategically located between city centre and port. The reflections of light from the new headquarters of the port building, the "New Port House" designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, pay homage to Antwerp as the centre of the diamond trade. The steel structure support consists of a fair-faced concrete column with 12 lateral surfaces at different angles.
