Houses, libraries, galleries and schools, planned around where the sun rises and sets.

Architecture
We have drawn thirty-three buildings since 2009, from a one-room studio to a public library. Each one starts with a week on site, a sun path and a card model, long before the first plan.

How we work
Drawn by hand, tested in light
Every building begins as a sun path drawn over the site plan. We mark where the first and last light falls in each season, then place the rooms that need it most: bedrooms to the east, kitchens and living rooms to the west, studios under north light.
Before anything is drawn in detail, we build the main rooms as card models and photograph them under a moving lamp. If a room does not work at seven in the morning or at four in the afternoon, we change the plan, not the lighting.
