Robin Boyd Award
The Robin Boyd Award for New Residential Architecture is an Australian national architecture prize presented annually by the Australian Institute of Architects since 1981.
The award is presented in memory of the Australian architect Robin Boyd CBE (1919—1971), and is awarded to residential house designs that set new benchmarks for meeting client's needs, responding to the site and providing shelter that is at the leading edge of house design.

Distribution and location of Awards
To 2023 a total of 48 Robin Boyd Awards had been given in the 41 years of the award, with no award given in only two years (1982 and 2022). On seven occasions joint winners have been awarded; 1991, 1993 (three winners), 1995, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2020.
Over 80% of the Awards have been given to freestanding houses (39 of 48), and almost half of those to beach houses or holiday houses (19 total). Houses located in remote areas accounts for 37.5% of the awards, whilst only 17% of winning projects would be considered inner urban. A total of 15 suburban projects have won the award, around 30% of all Award winners.
More than two thirds of all awards have been won by buildings located in New South Wales or Victoria, and 92% of all awards won on the mainland eastern seaboard states of New South Wales (42%) Victoria (27%) and Queensland (23%). No architects or projects from South Australia or ACT have been awarded in the 40 years since the award began.
The most common site locations for awards have been Sydney beachside or harbourside suburbs (10 awards or 20%), Queensland coastal areas (7 awards) or on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria (6 awards). Ten awards have been won in regional Victoria compared with only four awards in regional New South Wales — two of those by Glenn Murcutt — and seven awards in regional Queensland.
