04 / Your questions
Before we begin.
What are setbacks and plot coverage in Marka?
Setbacks are the clearances to the edges, and coverage is the share of the plot the house occupies.
What should I consider when planning a house in Marka?
Marka is a coastal port town south of Mogadishu on the Indian Ocean. Coastal salt and humidity call for corrosion-resistant finishes, with the port and the Mogadishu road as supply routes.
