Open House Festival 2023 Design Partners
The Open House Festival is launching a new open call for architecture practices to contribute their projects to the 2023 festival.
Ten winning architects who unlock buildings or spaces not normally open to everyone, or host an open day of a public space in a new and exciting way, will be credited as Design Partners across the charity’s channels. A total of 30 shortlisted applicants will get to open the doors of their projects and feature in a special collection showcasing London’s best emerging architecture.
To be considered, architecture practices should meet the 2023 festival criteria, and to then be considered as a Design Partner, the open days must:
Include tours run by the architect or designer
Be open for at least one day
Make genuine strides to engage visitors and public in interesting and meaningful ways
The judges and festival team encourage applications that::
Open places of community interest
Open domestic architecture
Champion sustainable approaches and practices
Have a proven track record of innovative community or resident collaboration
Are from practices with a staff count of 50 or less
Open more than one project for the festival
Create innovative ways of sharing the space with visitors
