Galkayo is a hot, semi-arid city in central Somalia. For construction, the hot, dry climate rewards shading and insulation, and the central location makes road transport the main supply route.

04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How is noise reduced in a design in Galkayo?

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 Galkayo?

Galkayo is a hot, semi-arid city in central Somalia. The hot, dry climate rewards shading and insulation, and the central location makes road transport the main supply route.

Why plan for sound early?

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