Which building am I thinking of....?

I am trying to recall a building which I saw a few photos of earlier this year. It was recently finished (or perhaps nearly there). I think it is commercial in Northern Europe. It was basically a big multi-story glass box, except the glass appeared to be in huge panels that were in multiple angles. So a sort of Coop-Himmelblau looking thing... except it wasn't. The glass was completely flat, but a frit pattern on the glass gave the illusion that it was angular. this sound familiar to anyone? I've been searching around the net but cant find it again...

it looks similar to this... only the glass is actually flat, with the illusion of angles.

Maybe Stadshuis Nieuwegein (The Netherlands) by 3XN?  http://www.archdaily.com/220899/stadshuis-nieuwegein-3xn/

Wow!  Good job, Jadzia.

Most of the new buildings and/or published projects out there look just like this.  How did you know the right one?

Thanks citizen.
Overpraise, I'm afraid.
The description James gave was quite accurate and I'm European so I should be up to date regarding European architecture.  ^^
