natural lighting design 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 natural light planned in Hargeisa?

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 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.

Why does daylight matter?

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