The Walsh Street House, also known as the Boyd House II, is a family home in Walsh Street, South Yarra, Victoria, Melbourne, Australia, designed by Robin Boyd in 1958, which the Boyds moved into a year later. Robin Boyd was known not only as an architect but also an architectural writer, educator and commentator. Born in 1919, he came from a creative family background of sculptors, painters and architects. He and his wife Patricia occupied the South Yarra home with their two daughters. == Historical and cultural significance ==
House II is acknowledged as one of Robin Boyds most prestigious houses.〔(Boyd Foundation : Melbourne, Australia. Retrieved 31 March 2012 )〕 Boyd wanted to create a ''"private indoor-outdoor environment despite the narrowness of the allotment and the congested surroundings of the inner suburb."'' 〔Geoffrey Serle, 1995, 'Robin Boyd: A Life' (Melbourne University Press, ISBN 0522847420 (pbk.) p. 189.〕 "It is significant as a material expression of Boyd's architectural ideas and writings, which were known internationally at the time."〔http://www.architecture.com.au/emailnews/national/Heritage/VIC-RobinBoyd2.pdf〕 It also stood out as architecture based on a strong structural-functional design, therefore the structure and function of the home in relation to society. Like Walsh Street, the allotment was on an incline. Originally, the allotment was part of a much larger plot of land and the Walsh Street house sits today on what was once a small side garden. The plan of the house was designed so that most views orient inwards, to the internal courtyard. Due to this introverted plan, views from the street into the house are limited. A large Monterey Pine Tree (Pinus radiata) is located at the front of the house and Boyd designed around the large tree in order to preserve it.
