Living courtyards, a year-round program, has brought to life several abandoned semi-public spaces, the backyards in the Maribor city centre, giving an opportunity to artists to revive courtyards in collaboration with the local community. The project has won the best international collaboration prize at the BIO 50 (Biennial of Design (BIO)) and has been extensively applied during the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 project. It got internationalised in 2017 by way of an international project called LUCity.
The Living town programme aims at revitalization of deserted or forgotten streets of the city in co-operation with the local clubs, street theatre, craftsmen and residents. Widely popular Koroška Live brings dozens of activities to the Koroška Street temporary turned into a pedestrian zone during the Lent Festival).

The Rajzefiber office provides an alternative tourist offer, tailored for individual guests and presenting the less obvious spots, sights and activities around the city. It is developing various new ways of how tourist services can be done and is set to continuously discover new local curiosities.
International projects
As of 2017 House! leads an international joint project financed by the Creative Europe prgramme, called LUCity. Bent on "bringing communities and artists together on an international level", it is in a way an expansion of the already existing Living courtyards and Living town initiatives.
