Text description provided by the architects. Burtinle Town is located in the border area of Puntland State of Somalia, approximately 7 degrees north of the equator. Having a hot desert climate with annual temperatures regularly exceeding 35°C, the hilly arid lands of the area lie at an altitude of 500m.a.s.L. The area is inhabited by several Somali clans- namely Awrtable, Cumar Maxamuud, and Gaboye. Due to its exposed location- close to both the disputed Ethiopian borderline as well as the Line of Control between Somalia and Somaliland- many refugees and internally displaced people make their way to Burtinle town.
