Robin Boyd designed Walsh Street (also known as Boyd House II) for his family in 1957. An exemplar of Australian modernist architecture, this experimental residence is where Boyd tested ideas about domesticity, structure and technology, and which continues to influence design thinking today.
Over the past seven years, the Walsh Street Archive has been catalogued, researched and digitised by a team of Robin Boyd Foundation volunteers. In celebration of the archive’s launch online through Victorian Collections, the Foundation will welcome Open House Melbourne visitors to a curated exhibition of collection highlights.
Bring your smartphone to explore the collection via a self-guided QR code tour. You wil be provided with an exhibition floor plan upon arrival which will list all the specific items on display.
Each public session is 45 minutes in duration. Attendess are asked to arrive promptly or slightly in advance of their session time to avoid disappointment.
