The Edge

"The Edge" is a 15-story office building in Amsterdam designed by  a London architect, and it's called the "smartest building in the world."

So . . how is this a smart building? In many ways. For example, in the sense that you can customize the building to your needs like this:

"A day at the Edge in Amsterdam starts with a smartphone app . .  From the minute you wake up, you’re connected. The app checks your schedule, and the building recognizes your car when you arrive and directs you to a parking spot.

"Then the app finds you a desk. Because at the Edge, you don’t have one. No one does. Work spaces are based on your schedule: sitting desk, standing desk, work booth, meeting room, balcony seat, or “concentration room.” Wherever you go, the app knows your preferences for light and temperature, and it tweaks the environment accordingly."
