TNA Architects

TNA is the Tokyo architecture office of Makoto Takei and Chie Nabeshima, who sign the practice with both names and keep its public presence to a single, deliberately spare sheet. From an address in Akasaka, in the Minato-ku district of Tokyo, the site gathers the pair’s works, projects and publications, with the two architects photographed by Daici Ano.

The studio also runs an open-desk programme for visiting designers and posts staff openings directly, with enquiries handled by email at mail@tna-arch.com. Everything else, the projects themselves, is presented through the work rather than through a written statement, in keeping with a practice that lets the buildings speak for the office.
