Open House Rome and Turin is part of the Open House Worlwide network, an international organization with headquarter in London, where the project took shape in 1992. 

Open House is an annual event that takes place during a weekend, celebrating design and architecture in various cities, offering the opportunity to learn about new architectures and their designers.

During Open House, everyone can take part in the hidden beauty of their city and consequently understand the value of good architecture for society.

The film conveys 4 examples, including two in Rome and two in Turin, where architects opened the doors of their houses giving the opportunity to create a direct dialogue between designers and visitors. Despite it is always a common destination, houses have very different configurations, concepts and approaches.

This interesting diversity makes us better understand the true value of the interior design and customization not only in terms of the geolocation and spontaneous cultural contamination, but also - above all – the importance of the designer and user who benefits from it.
