Every year, the largest architecture festival in Slovenia, Open House Slovenia Festival, allows architecture enthusiasts and members of the public to visit architectural projects across the country free of charge. The aim of the festival is to present examples of the best practices of contemporary Slovenian architectural production and important cultural heritage as part of Slovenian culture and national identity.



About the festival

The OHS Festival is an annual three-day event that showcases over 80 architectural projects and open spaces, selected by an expert jury and viewed by visitors under the expert guidance of architects, investors, users and experts who have significantly contributed to the success of the project. Resident houses, public architecture, various renovations and sustainable architecture get to be presented in situ, with the visitors thus getting a much deeper insight into contemporary architectural practices as well as the related technologies.

Since 2013, the OHS Festival has been organised by Afront, Institute for spatial innovation, a non-governmental organisation that has been working for over ten years in the field of culture, popularising architecture and architectural heritage, and raising awareness of the importance of well-designed spaces in improving the quality of life. In 2012 it was awarded the Plečnik medal for Open House Slovenia initiative. In addition to the OHS Festival, the institute manages the OHS online platform, organizes cultural events and architectural exhibitions, runs the Invisible Houses project and records the podcast Odprto (Eng. Open).

The Open House Slovenia Festival is part of the international Open House Worldwide network and a partner in the European cooperation project Open House Europe.

Open House Worldwide network

Open House Worldwide is a network of 50 organisations hosting festivals and dialogue about architecture, design and cities across the globe. In 2019, almost 1 million people participated in Open House events with nearly 2 million visits to buildings enabled by more than 18,000 volunteers. Taken together, Open House Worldwide is the largest celebration of the urban landscape in the world. The network was founded and is administered by Open City, a charity registered in the United Kingdom.

The biggest collection of Slovenian architecture

Over the years, the online platform Open House Slovenia has become the largest channel for contemporary Slovenian architecture. It encompasses over 950 projects, presented with photographs, information about authors and collaborators, and a description of the project's design. One can also browse through a list of select architectural studios with their references and contacts, and search through the companies that provide great services and products in the field of architecture and design.
