Open House Perth provides opportunities for event partners to align with the core values of OHP and expose their brands to Open House Perth’s engaged, qualified, design savvy audience and networks.
Since our relaunch in 2023 with the Open House Perth Mini Showcase, we have grown significantly to deliver an even bigger and better 2-day weekend event, showcasing incredible architectural and design projects across Perth.
Close collaboration between project owners, architects and designers, and Open House Perth volunteers enabled us to host 4,452 visitors across all of our venues in 2024.
The 2023 Open House Perth Mini Showcase showcased 3 projects. For 2024, we set an ambitious target of 20. We secured a total of 18 projects, hosted a sold out ‘Adaptive Reuse Walking Tour’ through Perth City and a Launch Party event.
We experienced an overwhelming amount of support in 2024, and witnessed how enthusiastic and passionate the community is with great design. This was evident not only though attendance rates, but also through social media engagement.
In just 90 days, we reached 34,956 accounts on Instagram of which only 28.1% were followers and the remaining 71.9% were non-followers. We reached our followers the most through our posts and reels while we reached non-followers most with posts and stories. Our collaboration on posts with sponsors, architects and designers expanded our reach.
In 90 days, 3,341 accounts engaged with our Instagram. Our posts received the greatest amount of engagement. The majority of post interactions were likes, saves and shares. Our most liked posts were the project announcements.
Our Instagram following increased from 14,007 in 2023 to 16,075 following the 2024 event, a growth of 14.8%. The highest growth in our following coincided with project announcement posts.
For 2025 we are planning to scale up the event by 20% and showcase even more projects across Perth.
Open House Perth would not be possible without the support from our sponsors. The generous contributions from our sponsors support us in many areas such as:
Our sponsors are essential to the growth and continued development of Open House Perth, enabling us to deliver exceptional events and showcase the incredible design that exists around Perth to the community.
For Open House Perth 2024, we introduced the Platinum Tier Sponsorship where sponsors received the greatest exposure, with branding and recognition visible on our social media, event tickets, website and at project destinations.
Looking forward to Open House Perth 2025, we would like to introduce:
