The Linked Hybrid in Beijing is a building complex designed by Steven Holl Architects, located near the old city wall. Built between 2003 and 2009, the project combines public and private spaces into a pedestrian-friendly ensemble. It houses more than 2,500 residents in 750 apartments, along with commercial space, a hotel, a cinema, and educational facilities such as a Montessori school. The complex is known for its eco-friendly design, in particular a geothermal system with hundreds of boreholes that covers most of its heating and cooling needs. This technology reduces CO2 emissions and noise, while special ventilation systems ensure a fresh indoor climate.
