Designing a high-end residential development in China typically means planning a gated community. In Linked Hybrid, Steven Holl Architects created instead a pedestrian-friendly “open city within a city,” a place that both residents and non-residents can enjoy. The project is a 220,000-square-meter complex of 650 apartments, a hotel, restaurants, shops, schools, and cinema. It features eight residential towers connected by a series of parks at ground level and roof gardens and sky bridges above.
