»In the abundance of instantaneous digital images of the modern world, OHS enables a multi-layered emotional experience of physical space: through the impression of volume, touch, light, smell, echo and through the emotion of the owner who coexists with this space.«

"Architecture has a very affirmative power and perhaps this is the most important similarity with football. "

»With its mission and high professional standards, the OHS Festival effectively raises the level of spatial and residential culture in Slovenian society. Education in the field of spatial and artistic culture is practically overlooked in our educational system, so the direct impact of learning through examples of good practice is indispensable. We are convinced that personal experience of outstanding architecture is exciting and instructive and has lasting positive effects on the profession and the general public.«

»OHS Slovenia is opening, uncovering and shaping a more demanding attitude towards the environment, design and way of life. By selectively choosing quality architecture and interiors, it raises awareness of the importance of everyday well-being in private and public living spaces. In this way, OHS contributes to the conclusion of a circle around which the users of space, creative designers, performers and the architectural profession revolve. When the circle of all participants is closed, the space of design comes to life in a timeless image.«

“Festival OHS with good architecture changes conventional ideas about architecture and points out the alternative of our daily living environment."

“We have to appreciate Place and discover, how to define our needs in it. For whole life, for all people. This is one of the reasons, why OHS mission is so important.

»Living and working in a healthy, pleasant and functional environment is the desire of all of us. But this simply cannot be prescribed with bureaucratic rules. And even good architects are not enough to achieve this goal. Architecture – the design of buildings and space – is meant for people. Therefore, the desire, the demand for quality architecture can only come from the people themselves. Aware people. With its festival and accompanying year-round activities to popularize quality architecture among the general public, OHS plays one of the key roles in informing and raising people's awareness of what quality architecture is and why it is important.«
