The Hickman: Digital twin delivers the ‘world’s smartest building’
The Hickman in London has become the first building in the world to achieve a Platinum rating from SmartScore, the certification scheme for smart buildings
The Hickman was completed by developer Great Portland Estates (GPE) in September 2020, delivering 75,300 sq ft of sustainable, tech-enabled office space in Whitechapel, London.

Close to Aldgate East Underground station and the soon-to-open Elizabeth Line Crossrail station, the site comprises The Hickman, Challenger House, a 171-bedroom hotel, and two courtyards to the rear.

Work on The Hickman included extending and refurbishing the building, relocating the office entrance, rotating the core to improve the efficiency of the floorplates and replacing the building’s services.

The Hickman is a tech-enabled building, with occupiers able to access a number of services and amenities, as well as controls for their office environment, via a smart workplace app, sesame™.

The app allows contactless access to the building and lifts, control of building services and provides both data to optimise office space and detailed, real-time energy analysis.

In addition, staff can book desks before they leave home, check the building’s air quality or view up-to-date transport data to help them avoid busy times. On their journey, they can browse 150 magazines and pre-order a coffee to pick up from the café in reception. Once at their desk, they can control lighting and temperature via the app.
