Hi all!

I do have a small backyard but yesterday I was assessing the amount of time that i have sun in there and there was sun in just a bit of the backyard for 1h in the afternoon :( Probably it will be better by the end of summer
The sun hits the facade for all morning and afternoon but is in the front of the house (things can be stolen)

Do you know any species that wouldn't mind all of this shade?!

thank you very much

Yew will take a lot of shade as will Maples, but they do like sun.

Ficus and pine both need good sun.

Yew, japanese maples, and azalea would be my list for very shaded locations.

Not that LB needs that, but having a similar corner in my house, I second that: japanese maples to very good there (although, I'm quite a bit south from you, I think; Netherlands?).
What I'd be concerned about looking at the pictures is not so much the amount of sun (choosing the right plants solves that), but the fact that in addition to that you probably have limited ventilation, and that brings easily to fungal problems, so even with maples keep an eye for those, and maybe even proceed with preemptive treatments if you see that's indeed a problem.
