Melbourne Open House or "MOH" is a free of charge event giving Melburnians and visitors to the city a rare opportunity to discover the often hidden wealth of design, architectural, engineering and historic ‘gems’ nestled around the city.

In its inaugural year (July 20 2008), Melbourne Open House focused on opening a selection of inspiring buildings within walking distance of Federation Square (see Program - 2008) and the Melbourne International Design Festival.

Melbourne Open House is proud to be associated with the Melbourne International Design Centre and the National Design Centre.

For next year’s 2009 event and beyond, Melbourne Open House will focus on a wider range of buildings in various locations across Melbourne. Our long term vision is to include best practice examples of, medium density housing, environmentally sustainable design and architectural award winners.

Got some feedback? Please let us know via the ‘register your interest’ form. We also encourage you to send us a list of buildings which you would like us to try to open in future years.

Melbourne Open House is an initiative of the Committee for Melbourne’s ‘Future Focus Group’. This event is funded purely by the generous sponsorship of a number of key companies. It is these companies who make this event possible and ensure that it is free for you the public!
