acoustic design in Berbera.

Berbera is a hot, dry coastal port on the Gulf of Aden. For construction, coastal salt and heat put corrosion-resistant finishes and shaded openings high on the list, and the seaport gives good access to imported materials.

In Berbera, planning acoustic design means coastal salt and heat put corrosion-resistant finishes and shaded openings high on the list, and the seaport gives good access to imported materials. Somdesign Architects turns the brief and the plot into a drawing set issued for construction.

04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How is noise reduced in a design in Berbera?

By placing quiet rooms away from the street and separating the loud areas from the bedrooms.

What should I consider when planning a house in Berbera?

Berbera is a hot, dry coastal port on the Gulf of Aden. Coastal salt and heat put corrosion-resistant finishes and shaded openings high on the list, and the seaport gives good access to imported materials.

Why plan for sound early?

Sound is set by the layout and the construction, which are harder to change after the home is built.
