Open House Melbourne

25 & 26 Jult 2015 (Free)

Open House Melbourne has been connecting people with good design and architecture in the city since 2008. Fans of architecture, building and construction will be making the annual pilgrimage to Melbourne to experience the outstanding houses, building, infrastructure and landscapes that reflect the life and history of one of Australia’s most famous destinations.

The Weekend showcases buildings of significance in a free and accessible format so everyone can experience the value of good design and architecture, and consider what makes a liveable city.

The 2015 event will feature over 100 buildings, tours, performances and special talks and is expected to attract over 135,000 people over the weekend.

If you’re unable to make the event, the Open House Melbourne project will be putting on other entertaining talks, tours, workshops and events throughout the year.
