Buildings that face the sun

From first light on a harbour office to the last on a tower flat: one day, eight buildings, and the architects who drew them around the hours.

Read the story
A long office block catching the first gold light of the morning
A low pavilion with a red timber front under a clear blue sky
A timber-clad house with one square window and a green chair inside
A white wall with a small window under a red awning in bright midday sun
A plaster wall with a small glowing window beside a leafy tree
The curved top of a white wall with one small lit window against a low afternoon sun
A seafront block with a row of lit windows at sunset
A city at dusk seen from a dark window high in a tower
