The best interiors are planned around time as much as space. Morning light, afternoon shade and the low gold of evening each suggest a different use for the same room.

Orientation first

Before furniture or finishes, the architect decides where the sun will fall. Bedrooms facing east, living spaces opening west, and deep overhangs to keep summer heat outside.

Materials that respond

Plaster, oak and honed stone all change colour through the day. That slow shift is part of what makes a home feel alive.
