04 / Your questions
Before we begin.
What are setbacks in Afgoye?
The minimum distances between the building and the plot boundaries, which fix how much of the plot the house can occupy.
What should I consider when planning a house in Afgoye?
Afgoye is a hot town on the Shabelle River near Mogadishu. The riverine ground makes drainage and foundation detailing the priority, with Mogadishu close by for supply.
Why does site planning come first?
The house position affects daylight, access, privacy and drainage, so it is settled before the floor plan is detailed.
