The Brisbane Open House showcases our architectural wonders.

And it was launched at one of those places,The UQ Oral Health Clinic.

Darren Lockyer, Brisbane Open House Ambassador: “I believe in good design and I believe in our city”.

The Open House concept started in London.

It attracts residents curious to see something they otherwise can’t.

Tzachi Katz, Open House Jerusalem:”In this special weekend the building is welcoming you inside, this make it very, very interesting.”

While many identify a grand building with City Hall and the windmill. Brisbane is home to buildings from across eras.

Many like Torbeck are considered icons of their age.

Torbeck, was Queensland’s first multi-storeyed home unit development.

Michael Rayner, Leading Queensland Architect: “The more you can engage the public through genuine interfacing forums like open house, we really do have to take people and show them.”
