The Hickman is a complex refurbishment of a commercial building in Whitechapel owned by Great Portland Estates plc.

The Hickman is a complex commercial redevelopment. Reusing around 50% of the existing structure, 2,983 tonnes of embodied carbon have been retained, with a structural embodied carbon value of 289 kgCO2e/m2.
The Hickman champions digital technology to enhance the working environment. The building has been fitted with sensors which feed data back to a bespoke smartphone app, sesame™. This monitors and allows adjustments to the environmental quality of internal spaces, monitors utilisation and allows card-free access throughout the building.
