North facing family home-HELP!

Hi & hope everyone is well.

Issue: how to effectively & efficiently get natural light into our north facing house, predominately the open plan living area. We live in country Victoria, Australia!

Attached is a photo of our current concept design. We have opted for a somewhat internal courtyard in order to beam light into the back section of the house. The intention is to have sliding doors on both sides of dining/living area.

My concern is that this footprint could be quite costly & are there much more effective ways to get light into a north facing house without having to have a glasses courtyard to achieve it!

Feeling little out of our depth on our first ever build & hoping anyone could offer us constructive feedback🙏
