This is Studio Egret West's Nottingham Science Park, completed earlier in the summer.
The scheme was backed by Blueprint, a public/private partnership between English Partnerships, East Midlands Development Agency, and Morley's Igloo Regeneration Fund.
The science park is located next to a nature reserve, which the practice used as inspiration for the 4,200m2 building.
Christophe Egret, principal architect at Studio Egret West, said: 'The beauty of the natural surroundings inspired us to use enlarged nature as the design inspiration for this project.'
A particular feature of this is the boardwalk, designed in the shape of 33 lilypads.
