Light question for laying - new coop/hutch

[MajorQuail]

Question: Does the new coop design (see 3D model below) provide enough light for the hens to keep laying?

Our coop/hutch will sit up against a wall for its backside, so light can really only enter through the front (the roof being a garden at some point). This is the 3D model I have so far:

Doors will open outward and will have hardwire mesh/cloth on them.

Door opening faces north. Is that enough light for the hens to keep laying? I don't think the sun will shine into the coop itself.

Ideally, we want to try an add a rooftop garden similar to what you see on these two random internet photos, hence why we need a solid roof. I know these two designs below can receive sun from 3 sides, but due to the limitations of our property, awful awful HOAs, and the fact that it's Las Vegas, we don't have a lot to work with. Light can only enter from the front (north facing).



Currently, our coturnix are laying pretty much daily in their current coops (which have a half skylight of hardwire cloth, and half plywood solid roof). I'm worried that going all-solid roof might damage their ability to lay.

Thoughts?

I don't think it'll be an issue - in my experience it doesn't have to be bright light to make them lay. I'd probably paint the inside white to make it as bright as possible though.
If you have electricity near the coop, you could also put Christmas string lights or similar under the roof to add more light.

in my experience it doesn't have to be bright light to make them lay.

That's what I'm hoping for. As long as they can "see" the daylight (4 inches away), they should be able to lay. Thanks for posting your experience!
