Doors Open Toronto 2024 – Open Studio

Slideshow

Ever wondered what an architect’s studio looks like?

This Doors Open weekend (May 25-26), architectural practices across Toronto are opening their doors and inviting you to come drop by!

Come meet the people behind our built environment and talk to the architects, landscape architects, planners and interior designers helping shape our city. Explore their workspaces, ranging from laneway studios to modernist heritage structures and community hubs, and see how buildings and landscapes go from ideas to built realities.

For 2024, we have a fantastic line up of studios working across a wide variety of projects and specialties! In addition to self-guided walks through the offices, many of the studios are offering talks throughout the weekend (more info below). In addition to all of our studios, this year you can also visit a number of related sites including the OAA Headquarters (featuring the TSA Paper City family activity!), and the schools of architecture at the University of Toronto and Toronto Metropolitan University. Both of the schools will be exhibiting the work of current students, providing you a glimpse of what architecture education looks like!

Click on the map below to learn more about the participating studios and sites, which days they will be open and what you can expect when you visit. You can also click on their logos below to visit their websites and see their work!

*Please note not all studios are open both days. Check the map below for the latest schedule.
