Originally run as an annual event, Brisbane Open House (BOH) has developed into an organisation that hosts transformative interactions for residents and visitors with the city of Brisbane, its culture, architecture and heritage, all year round.

BOH aims to

• Positively transform interactions of residents and visitors with the city of Brisbane
• Uncover stories, experiences, and places within the city to foster civic pride and engagement
• Provide access to significant public and privately-owned buildings
• Engage with the urban spaces that occur between our buildings
• Build the Cultural Capital of the city

Explore and promote:

• Contemporary and historic architectural and urban/suburban attractions
• Well-designed built environment settings, including environmentally, economically, and culturally sustainable design in our subtropical city
• The diverse professions who contribute to, create and protect Brisbane’s architectural and design attractions
• Brisbane on a national and international stage as a design capital and a creative hub

Brisbane Open House [BOH] is an annual FREE event, where selected buildings across the city are opened for the public for guided or self-guided tours, encouraging exploration, re-examination and engagement with Brisbane’s built environment.

BOH provides residents and visitors with an opportunity to discover the hidden wealth of architecture, engineering and history in buildings and places around Brisbane city.

BOH is a part of the Open House Worldwide family – a global network of Open House events which has become a worldwide movement. International cities include New York, Tel Aviv, Stockholm, Chicago, Barcelona and Dublin. Locally Melbourne, and the Sunshine and Gold Coasts also host Open House events.
