Tane Garden House, Tsuyoshi Tane — Photography by Julien Lanoo

Weil am Rhein, Germany

Tane Garden House

Client: Vitra

Location: Weil am Rhein, Germany

The Tane Garden House on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, is a quiet pavilion by Tsuyoshi Tane. Set within the garden, the building pairs a restrained material palette with large glazed openings that bring light, greenery, and shifting reflections into the interior. Its wooden frame and simple detailing create a calm, contemplative atmosphere, while the compact scale strengthens the sense of retreat. The project fits naturally into the campus landscape and offers a close reading of architecture shaped by light, landscape, and stillness.

Tsuyoshi Tane: Archeology of the Future II

TOTO

by Tsuyoshi Tane

Architecture is one of the clearest human acts of building the future — a central idea in this first anthology of work by Tsuyoshi Tane, an architect based between Paris and Japan. The book presents seventeen major projects through concepts, images, and drawings, including the Estonian National Museum, designed with DGT Architects co-founders Lina Ghotmeh and Dan Dorell, and the recent Todoroki House in Valley, Tokyo. Together, these works reveal Tane’s thinking and his approach to materialising what he calls the “archaeology of the future.”

Architecture Connecting: Xu Tiantian & Tsuyoshi Tane – Memoryscapes

Lars Müller Publishers

by Mette Marie Kallehauge, Lærke Rydal Jørgensen,

“Memoryscapes,” the second volume in the “Architecture Connecting” series, explores how human narratives, memory, and place shape future architecture. Co-published with the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, the book presents the work of DnA Architecture and Design and Atelier Tsuyoshi Tane Architects, whose practices connect cultural heritage, social traditions, and site-specific research. Through projects, essays, and visual documentation, the publication shows how both studios use the past as a resource for contemporary architectural thinking, linking memory, craftsmanship, and local knowledge to create new possibilities for the future.
