site planning and setbacks in Berbera.

04 / Your questions
Before we begin.
What are setbacks in Berbera?
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 Berbera?
Berbera is a hot, dry coastal port on the Gulf of Aden. Coastal salt and heat put corrosion-resistant finishes and shaded openings high on the list, and the seaport gives good access to imported materials.
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.
