Taikoo Li North

It was designed by a group led by the Oval partnership from Hong Kong, and Japanese architect Kengo Kuma (隈研吾).

The design of the Taikoo Li Sanlitun is inspired by Beijing's Hutongs and Siheyuan courtyards, comprising a mix of unusual shapes, textures and vibrant colours, and blending the Beijing of the past with its more worldly, cosmopolitan present. Taikoo Li South blends a traditional hutong lifestyle with twenty-first century modernity and sophistication. Taikoo Li North draws its courtyard form from China's Siheyuan, in which architectural style displays a feel of urban sophistication and keen sense for fashion.
