Under the direction of The Oval Partnership and based on the design of renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, a campus of 19 low-density buildings – split into southern and northern zones – was constructed in contemporary architectural styles. The bold use of color and irregular three-dimensional modeling creates unique angles at every turn. Thanks to this strong visual personality, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has become an iconic part of Beijing’s retail landscape.

 

The buildings of Taikoo Li Sanlitun South are dynamic and stylish, with bright colors that pop. The sprawling layout, like Beijing’s traditional hutong lanes, was constructed to facilitate multiple paths, with criss-crossing spaces that invite leisurely wandering.

 

The architecture of Taikoo Li Sanlitun North, on the other hand, reflects understated luxury. The simplicity of the building design is complementary to the elegance of international brands; the open courtyard layout, inspired by Beijing's classic siheyuan dwellings, displays the spacious and inclusive temperament of a true metropolis.

This is Beijing's trendy core – a hotbed of style and attitude, and a utopia for the fashion-forward.

Here, the intermingling of international flagship stores, independent designer labels, high street fashion and boutique shops produces fascinating “chemical reactions” that fashionistas cannot resist.

 

Every day, new elements of fashion and new lifestyle trends, attitudes and ideas can be discovered and embraced here.

You can let your own unique taste shine – and feel free to stand out from the crowd.
