English term or phrase: northlight

Aus einer Gebäudebeschreibung (das Gebäude befindet sich direkt am Meer):

Raised on a plinth to protect against flooding, the building will be formed by six identical volumes with monopitched roofs that *provide northlight* into all the upper level galleries. The roofline will form the
silhouette of the building, reminiscent of a coastal vernacular.

Vielen Dank für Eure Vorschläge!
