FAQs
When is Open Studios taking place?
Open Studios takes place on 15 & 16 October 2025. Studios will open their doors to the public between 5pm-8pm. The full line up will be announced in September. Follow us on Instagram for latest news.
Who can visit?
This event is open to anyone with an interest in architecture and design. It’s an opportunity to see inside the studios that shape our city, and engage with the architects and designers who make it happen.
So if you’re a school student thinking about a career in architecture, a student already studying, a creative interested in the built environment or fellow professional, pop in! Our only recommendation is that school age visitors are accompanied by an adult.
How much does it cost?
This event is free for visitors to attend.
How does it work?
Studios are grouped on different evenings based on their location, so that visitors can easily walk between venues. We might have some outliers that would need a quick drive (or bike! we encourage alternative transport). Printed maps will be available at all studios, so that you can take one with you on your journey. Maps will also be available on this website to download from October, as well as via Instagram.
Which studios are taking part this year?
The line up of participating studios will be announced closer to the time.
Can I bring my CV?
While you’re welcome to drop off your CV at the studios, please keep in mind that each team will be very busy managing their event and hosting their visitors, and won’t be able to give you individual attention. You might find some studios will have a tray for CV applications.
Can I sign up my studio?
If you’re an architecture, interior, landscape or urban design studio based in Cape Town and would like to take part, please get in touch.
I’d like to sponsor the event!
