Morphology
The meaning 'the side ... oriented toward or located on the east' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'east' (compass direction) with 'side' (a boundary or face of something). This simple locative noun-noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows standard English spatial composition, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
East side combines east, the direction where the sun rises, and side, meaning one part of a place, so it names the part of a building or area that faces the east. That's why saying 'the east side' tells you which side is toward the sunrise.
