The architecture festival Open House Slovenia (OHS) invites you to visit the best projects of contemporary Slovenian architecture again in 2024!

This year, the festival will take place for the fifteenth time, from 12th to 14th April 2024 across Slovenia.
The purpose of the festival is to raise public awareness of the values of quality designed space, to enable personal experiences in excellent Slovenian architecture and to raise living culture and spatial literacy in Slovenia. At the same time, the festival also enables authors to present their work to the wider public.

This year, the OHS festival takes place under the title Architecture of New Opportunities and highlights the issue of the inclusion of all people and interest groups in built and designed community spaces. It addresses questions of equal opportunities and new opportunities for living, working, education, existence and development of the entire society, all living things and nature with the aim of finding answers about the coexistence that good architecture can enable, encourage and protect. These questions represent the most crucial challenges, which cannot be solved by architectural ideas alone without supporting socio-economic and social policies. However, architecture is the medium that, with its physical address, can offer opportunities or even empower the individual. By highlighting the theme of inclusion and accessibility, festival spaces also become bearers of experience that inspire participants to become "defenders" of a more just and inclusive society.

The full program of the festival is available here.
Registrations for free tours of architectural projects throughout Slovenia will open on Wednesday, April 3, 2024.

This year's festival program was chosen from among the submitted projects by an expert jury consisting of four experts in the field of architecture and design: Blaž Budja, Maša Cvetko, Dean Lah, Maja Stamenković.
