04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How do building codes shape a design in Berbera?

They set the setbacks, height, structure and safety, which the design must follow.

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 design to the codes from the start?

So the drawings are approved and built without rework, rather than corrected later.
