The center opened in July 2008, and contains 260+ stores, dining outlets and services including a multi-screen theatre.
- The Deck (Taikoo Li North)
The area includes a large number of stores, especially fashion brands. It also includes art galleries focusing on avant-garde and contemporary Chinese and foreign artists.[2][3][4]
Design
It was designed by a group led by the Oval partnership from Hong Kong, and Japanese architect Kengo Kuma (隈 研吾).[5][6]
The design of Taikoo Li South is inspired by Beijing's hutongs, while Taikoo Li North draws its courtyard form from China's siheyuan.[5] The space also includes modern pieces such as an open fountain and little touches from contemporary artists.[7][8]
