Borama is a cooler highland town near the Djibouti and Ethiopia border. For construction, the cooler highland climate reduces salt and heat stress, and the border trade routes make many materials readily available.

04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How is natural light planned in Borama?

By placing openings on the right walls and sizing them to the room, so daylight reaches in without too much heat.

What should I consider when planning a house in Borama?

Borama is a cooler highland town near the Djibouti and Ethiopia border. The cooler highland climate reduces salt and heat stress, and the border trade routes make many materials readily available.

Why does daylight matter?

A well-lit home feels better and needs less artificial light, which lowers running cost.
