Would need to be a South facing hillside. I would paint the back wall with whitewash to increase the light levels and probably do a design without a front wall but glass coming all the way down to the ground. I think a lot of these designs are on mountains where the height makes for much better light levels.

I don’t think it’s a good solution here, as one of the big problems we have is lack of light at the times of the year when cold is a problem. I have never seen the issue of light discussed in any descriptions of these structures, yet here in the UK in winter, the low angle of the sun would make the interior (especially the floor) very dim.
