Scott Brownrigg has completed an office and laboratory development at Peterhouse Technology Park in Cambridge for British Land, adding over 100,000 sq ft of space intended to serve the growing life sciences sector.

Externally, the design incorporates aluminium fins that provide solar shading. The second floor is set back to create a roof terrace.
