Held on the last weekend in July since 2008, Open House Melbourne is one of the Victorian capital’s favourite winter events. It’s that opportunity to have a peek at places that were hitherto off-limits, or available to only a few, that makes it irresistible to so many.
Growing in scope year after year, Open House Melbourne in 2025 will be one of the biggest yet, with nearly 200 buildings and experiences united under the theme ‘Stories of the City’ – diving into the oh-so human predilection for ferreting out unusual spaces or seeing what’s behind the windows of some of the most grandiose and exclusive looking private homes. Eight new residences will be featured this year, including ECHO.1, Melbourne’s first Turnkey Passivhaus Development.
