Open House Films
This year many buildings found themselves unable to open their doors to the public as in previous years. We decided that it was the perfect opportunity to bring them to more people than ever by creating short film tours presented by the experts that live and work in them. Since July, Open House has been shooting these short films in a spectacular range of locations including manor houses, embassies, public lidos and tower blocks, recreating the intimate behind the scenes experiences and anecdotes that make Open House building visits so memorable.
Dezeen and Open House
As part of a collaboration with Dezeen, a selection of the Open House films were featured on the Dezeen website and YouTube channel, allowing them to reach a wider online audience.
