Architecture isn’t a one-way message. While we shape the city through what we build, the city shapes how we live, move, and think. Our buildings carry these exchanges, reflecting how spaces are used, transformed, and experienced over time.
Open House Macau invites you to explore these connections between people, spaces, and everyday life. For 48 hours, an array of homes, heritage sites, workplaces, infrastructure, cultural spaces, and more will open their doors. Visitors, city-lovers, and curious passersby can discover the behind-the-scenes stories, guided by architects, designers, owners, and volunteers.
About Open House Macau
Open House Macau is a free, city-wide architecture festival that unlocks buildings across the city for behind-the-scenes tours and special activities.
As the first Open House event in Asia, OHM invited the public for the first time in 2018 to step inside Macau’s buildings and experience architecture from the inside out. Thousands of visitors, 50 buildings, and over 100 volunteers came together to explore spaces usually seen only from the street. Following the great adherence of 2018 adition, Open House Macau 2026 will once again invite the public to explore a diverse range of buildings, spaces, and narratives across the city through guided tours, open visits, talks, and community-driven activities. Curated and organized by CURB – Center for Architecture and Urbanism, OHM is a proud member of renowned Open House Worldwide, which includes 60+ cities in 6 continents.

Please stay tuned for the book launch at Ponte 9 – Creative Platform, and join us to celebrate the Open House Macau 2026 edition.
The Open House Macau book reflects on the pioneering 2018 edition, which opened the doors of 50 buildings to the public, mobilised over 100 volunteers, and welcomed thousands of residents and visitors to experience the city from new perspectives. Through original research, photography, and project documentation, the publication captures the spirit of openness, accessibility, and civic engagement that defines the Open House movement worldwide.
More than a record of an event, the book positions architecture as a shared cultural resource and highlights the essential role of public participation in shaping more inclusive, informed, and engaged cities.
