Mixed-use Developments
Taikoo Li Sanlitun, Beijing
Along with the Forbidden City and historical neighbourhoods like Gulou, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has become part of the identity of modern Beijing. Since its opening in 2008, Taikoo Li Sanlitun has established itself as one of the places for shopping, dining, hospitality and entertainment.
It features an original lane concept, inspired by Beijing’s traditional “hutong” lanes, with multiple paths and criss-crossing spaces that invite leisurely wandering. Taikoo Li Sanlitun, like all developments from Swire Properties, endeavours to provide a sense of local pride.
Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu
In a world struggling to protect tradition and cultural identity, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu is a breath of fresh air, and is a modern retail concepts inspired by ancient culture. Instead of the conventional tower approach, Taikoo Li Chengdu, designed by The Oval Partnership, architects of Taikoo Li Sanlitun, Beijing, continued the ‘lane ’retail concept with a strong aesthetic directly inspired by traditional Sichuan architecture with an innovative, modern approach.
This example of the Taikoo Li concept features six traditional courtyards and buildings within the site that have been preserved and revitalised. The adjacent Daci Temple also contributes to the historical and cultural essence of the complex.
