04 / Your questions

Before we begin.

What are setbacks in Jowhar?

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 Jowhar?

Jowhar is a hot, agricultural town on the Shabelle River. The riverine, agricultural setting puts soil and drainage first, with the road to Mogadishu as the main supply route.

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.
