The Robin Boyd Foundation is the custodian of Boyd House II, designed by Australian modernist architect, author, critic, and public educator Robin Boyd, as his family home in 1957. Locally known as Walsh Street, the residence is both a house museum and a place for discourse, that promotes the understanding of the diversity of Boyd’s work and legacy through the keeping, studying and exhibition of his work and others reflecting his interests and values.
In addition to the care and conservation of Walsh Street, the Foundation preserves the Walsh Street Archive, which contains over 4,000 items, including manuscripts, architectural drawings, correspondences, artworks, furniture, library, household items, films and slides.
The Foundation’s work is supported by the Boyd Circle, Partners, Donors, Friends, and our vital volunteers.
