Open House is a free annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique and interesting buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings in Hobart (nipaluna) and Launceston.
Open House invites you to be a tourist in your own city.
Get out your camera and photograph the buildings and spaces you walk past every day; take a peek at how others live, work and play; and see how the city’s infrastructure works.
Look up, look inside, climb a bell tower or descend into a basement, and take in the incredible views from different vantage points around town.
We are pleased to announce that this year we are also hosting Open House Southern Midlands 2025. Stay tuned for more details.
Open House Hobart is made possible by the following organisations:
Major Partners: Tasmanian Government and Futago
Partners: Austral Bricks, The Agency and Lysaght
Supported by: City of Hobart
Media Partner: ArchitectureAU
Produced by: Australian Institute of Architects
Open House is an annual architecture program that opens some of Tasmania’s most unique buildings to the public, including private homes and historic buildings across lutruwita Tasmania. We acknowledge that Open House takes place on the land of the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania) and pay respects to the palawa people, Tasmanian Aboriginal Community and to Elders – past, present and emerging.
