33–35 Piccadilly

Building context

33–35 Piccadilly is The Crown Estate’s West End redevelopment, positioned between Piccadilly, Regent Street and St James’s. The scheme creates approximately 30,000 sq ft of offices with 3,000 sq ft of retail and hospitality at ground level. Its ambition brings a relatively compact mixed-use workplace together with modern building systems and a demanding sustainability brief.

Smart technology scope

Smart technology planned around workplace performance

The Crown Estate describes intelligent building systems, enhanced ventilation and a design focused on comfort and efficient operation. SmartScore Platinum has already been achieved, while the owner identifies WELL Platinum and several other environmental and connectivity ratings as targets. The consultancy brief connects that smart-building ambition with the functionality, operating roles and assessment evidence needed to support it.

• Connecting workplace experience with the proposed intelligent building systems.
• Making technical and operating responsibilities clear for the assessment.
• Keeping achieved SmartScore recognition distinct from other targeted ratings.
