Michael, In the Walt Disney Team Building in Orlando you find a modern sundial of huge dimensions in a cylindrical part of the building, open at top.
And a so called mirror dial is in the Lycée Stendhal in Grenoble, France, dated 1673. There are more of those type of dials At the ceiling of my neighbours house is a mirror sundial. In Munich, Germany, the corner of a building is used as gnomon for a sundial on the ground outside. In southern France the construction La Nef Solaire consists of three large sundials in which you can walk around. So the answer to your question is yes, they exist, old and new, inside and outside and there are more than I listed here.
