On the occasion of Art Basel 2023, the VITRA Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany, unveiled Tane Garden House as the latest addition to its unique architectural ensemble. The project forms a single-flow shell-like space under the eaves where public and private spaces are blended together and views of the sky can be seen from any area of the structure.Tane garden house opens at the vitra campus in germany In the dining zone, the pantry, wash utility, bathroom, toilet, and bedroom spiral staircase are half-closed with only the upper part forming a continuous plan. The entrance’s staircase serves as a vertical gallery, while the second flight of stairs separates the living room and dining kitchen. Two spiral staircases are located at the corners of the L shape on the top floor, one leading to the entrance and the other to the bedrooms. The courtyard puts up triple-glazed plastic allowing natural light to the bright interior. The living room and dining room are organized in an open-plan layout that fits the site. By keeping the height of the central courtyard as low as possible and minimizing the openings around the perimeter, the design team forms a one-room space that opens a large four-by-four meter square skylight letting ample light within the structure and creating interesting skyscapes throughout the day. The upper floor volume is L-shaped arranging an open courtyard atrium in the center.
