an extension 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.

How is an extension designed in Hargeisa?

Onto the existing structure and services, so the new space joins the old cleanly.

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.

What matters most in an extension?

The join to the existing house, the roof and the services, so the extension works as one building.
