architectural sections in Hargeisa.

Hargeisa is a highland capital with a mild, dry climate and cooler nights than the coast. For construction, the milder highland air means less salt exposure than the coast, so standard finishes and frames last well, while the cooler nights make good roof insulation worth the cost.

04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

What does a section drawing show in Hargeisa?

The building cut through, showing the floor levels, the ceiling heights and how the structure meets the roof.

What should I consider when planning a house in Hargeisa?

Hargeisa is a highland capital with a mild, dry climate and cooler nights than the coast. The milder highland air means less salt exposure than the coast, so standard finishes and frames last well, while the cooler nights make good roof insulation worth the cost.

Why are sections part of the set?

They show the heights and the structure that a plan alone cannot, so the builder gets the levels right.
