LINKED HYBRID

��This project sited adjacent to the site of the old city wall of Beijing, aims to counter the current privatized urban developments in China by creating a new 21st century porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side. This project represents our firm’s ability to design a high-end mixed-use design accenting sustainable building and site development through the use of advanced BIM programs and technology. ���Project information: �

2,383,410 sq. ft. (221,426 sq. m.) �Price per unit:�

Most units went for 275.00 per sq. ft. in 2006, which is about average for Beijing luxury residential prices at the time. The last few apartments average 600.00 per sq. ft.�Programs: �

750 single family apartments, public green space, commercial zones, hotel, cinemateque, kindergarten, Montessori school, and underground parking.�Occupancy: �

Over 2500 inhabitants �Measure of success:�

Linked Hybrid was recognized for its environmental design and uses geo-thermal wells for cooling and heating.�

At our firm we strive to design high-end residences that are modern and efficient. But as we design each project we are constantly thinking not only of the residents comfort but also the connection that our design will have with the community in which it is placed. We are a firm that believes that successful design is influenced by and responds to the community into which it is placed. The goal of the firm is to shape public policies, land use plans and designs, and build projects that are sustainable in terms of- ��•  the linkages between land use patterns, �•  urban design, and transportation systems; �•  the economics of both the public and private sectors; �•  building technologies and infrastructure; �•  integration of natural and built environments; �•  short-term as well as long-term goals and needs; �•  support of community and social welfare ��Out approach to the building scale of design is informed by:��•  considering regional architectural traditions and climatic conditions

while not necessarily recreating historic styles; �•  working with the public, property owner or builder to define a clear

understanding of the users; �•  defining a site plan, building massing, and landscape and

architectural detail that make appropriate contributions to the public realm and the environment; �

•  employing principles and design details that further pedestrian-oriented design and provide equitable access to the public realm; �

•  integrating ecological systems within the built environment; �•  recognizing the relationships and dependencies between the

private and public realms. �

DESIGN APPROACH: COMMUNITY

1D 2

Our company creates spaces that are flexible enough to adapt to communities’ dynamics throughout time. Therefore our buildings have a prolonged lifetime that ensures permanence to its residents, and the establishment of communal ties.��Moreover, our company designs living environments that respond to time and its natural surroundings, which results in energy efficient dwellings. Our buildings save up to 30% in energy.�

DESIGN APPROACH: ADAPTABILITY

1D 2

We work with innovative materials that self-cleans, wears, self-repairs, and save or collect energy��•  Significant cut down maintenance cost �•  Healthier & more attractive environment �•  Help prevent catastrophic failure �•  Greater resilience�•  Improve energy efficiency �

DESIGN APPROACH: INNOVATION

1D 2

Research will be used as a tool to explore current site conditions seeking to achieve the greatest potential for the project. ��- Demographics: Considering factors such as household size and income to determine the best housing typology or if possible, diverse typologies.��- Site Conditions: Looking at site access and pedestrian activity to determine the best urban intervention. ��-Market Reality: Studying the market to create an appropriate space for retail and propose innovative ideas. �

DESIGN APPROACH: RESEARCH

1D 2

Sustainability is a state of mind, that takes a lead in the design process necessary in today’s evolving world. In our office, we take pride in delivering real results of efficiency and sustainability with extensive research into climate and building strategies within a mixed use setting to be a leader in developing ecologically friendly communities. Our focus extends beyond the initial sustainability of a building during construction but also look to the future through environmental impact and daily use.� �Why build green? � �Upfront costs of green buildings costs only 2% more than traditional buildings, but save on average 20% of construction costs over a buildings life cycle.�
