OHS minifest 2026

This autumn, we once again invite you to discover and explore quality architecture, spaces and the stories behind them through a rich programme of architectural events. From 25 to 27 September, the fourth OHS Minifest will take place, this year focusing on architecture in the Gorenjska region and opening the doors to a selection of architectural projects.

The Gorenjska region is characterised by exceptional natural features, a strong local identity and a rich architectural heritage, making the relationship between new interventions, the landscape and the existing built environment particularly important. Through projects of different scales – from a small holiday home to public and infrastructure projects – the festival programme will reveal the diversity of contemporary architecture in Gorenjska and the ways in which it responds to place, landscape and the needs of contemporary life. The proximity of the individual projects will make it possible to combine several guided tours in a single day, offering a more comprehensive insight into the architecture and the context in which it is created.

Over the three festival days, you will have the opportunity to explore selected projects in the company of architects, users and others involved in their development, as well as to enter spaces that are not always accessible to the general public.

Among this year’s programme highlights is a presentation of the second tube of the Karawanks Tunnel, offering visitors a rare insight into one of Slovenia’s largest infrastructure projects. In Bohinj, the Bohinj Kindergarten and the Stara Fužina Cultural Centre will open their doors, while the programme will also extend to Bled, where visitors will be able to explore, among other projects, the renovated Sokol Hall and the Bled Boathouse. The diverse selection will be rounded off by other interesting residential, tourism, commercial and public projects, revealing different facets of contemporary architecture in the Gorenjska region.

Part of the programme will also take place in Ljubljana, where the sustainable office building Vilharia will open its doors to visitors for the first time since its completion. In previous years, we presented the project through guided construction-site tours; this time, visitors will have the opportunity to experience it as a completed building for the first time.

Free registration for the guided tours will open on Wednesday, 16 September 2026, at 9:00 AM.
