Courtyard penthouse

An L around a courtyard, so the building shades its own terrace: one wing all morning, the other from lunch.

These are drawings, not photographs — and not an artist’s impression either. Every patch of light was worked out from the sun’s real position on that date and hour, by the same model that moves the sun on the rest of the site. Change the day and the light moves, because the light is a calculation, not a picture someone painted.
