04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

How is natural light planned in Garowe?

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 Garowe?

Garowe is an inland capital of Puntland with a hot, semi-arid climate. The hot, dry inland climate calls for shaded openings and insulation, with materials moved in by road.

Why does daylight matter?

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