Not very common in Italy, but all the rage in the States, an open house (literally "open house") is a real estate marketing technique in which those who want to sell or rent a property decide to let as many potential buyers visit the house in a only one appointment, as if it were a party or a group visit to the museum.
Magazine Openhousestrengthened by this tradition, the doors of the houses of artists and creatives from all over the world are inserted and opened wide to readers, to tell about design and architecture starting from those who live it every day.

ISSUE 17
Inspired by the words of the legendary photographer Luigi Ghirri, this issue of Openhouse magazine is halfway between "atlas" and "album": "One book to stay and one to go".
We leave for Mexico and wake up in El Divisadero, a ranch where horses are "family". Ileana Moro reveals her nomadic way of life from her home-studio in Ghent. We go down to France, where we pause in the architectural curves of Villa Benkemoun, we retire between and inside the sculpture-environments in the garden of Villa André Bloc and dream of summer at the Maison Louis Carré by Alvar Aalto.
We travel far and wide, always returning home.
