The Open House Slovenia – OHS festival is part of the Creative Europe supported project Open House Europe that aims to encourage a more inclusive debate on architecture as a common European identity, bring the values of quality spaces closer to the general public and empower citizens to advocate for a well-designed built environment.

This year, the OHS festival taking palce from 12 to 14 April, is titled “Architecture of New Opportunities” highlighting the issue of inclusivity of all people and interest groups in the built and designed spaces. It addresses questions of equal opportunities and new possibilities for living, working, education, living, and development of the entire society, all living beings, and nature with the aim of seeking answers about coexistence that good architecture can enable, promote, and protect.

In the festival program, various thematic projects will be highlighted, promoting accessibility and enabling community development. Among them are two nominated for the EUmies Awards 2024, i. e. Bohinj Kindergarten by Kal A in cooperation with ARREA architecture (Madrid) and Covering the remains of the Church of St. John the Baptist in the Žiče Charterhouse by MEDPROSTOR, arhitekturni atelje d.o.o.
