The Robin Boyd Award was presented to Adam Haddow and Stewart Cowan from SJB for 19 Waterloo Street, at the National Awards[76] held in Canberra on 31 October 2023. National Awards were also presented to Merricks Farmhouse by Michael Lumby with Nielsen Jenkins and Spring Creek Road Farm House by Architect Brew Koch. Mossy Point House by Edition office was presented a National Commendation.

"19 Waterloo Street is a spectacular example of a new approach to urban infill. Constructed on the 30 square metres left between a new mixed-use building (a studio apartment and commercial tenancy) and an existing factory, the home shows how hard architecture can work, even on a small footprint. From the moment it comes into view, the home announces itself as something different. Full of colour, the facade disguises the program within, allowing an element of privacy balanced by a sense of generosity to the public street. All the required elements of home are present, with each opening off the central stair. Entry, workspace, kitchen, living and bedroom all have their own character and charm. Each is also light and radiates an overwhelming impression of space and connection to greenery that is not easily achieved within such a hard, industrial fabric. The culmination of the upwards journey is a rooftop garden that provides that final, much-loved element of the Australian home. No function was jettisoned in the small footprint, and the space is successful as a home for two, or as a space to welcome gatherings."

Distribution and location of Awards

To 2023 a total of 49 Robin Boyd Awards had been given in the 42 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 49), and almost half of those to beach houses or holiday houses (19 total). Houses located in remote areas accounts for 40% of the awards, whilst only 22% of winning projects would be considered inner urban. A total of seven suburban projects have won the award, around 15% of all Award winners.

Around 47% of awards have been won by projects in metropolitan urban areas, and 53% in non–metropolitan locations. 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.

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 (43%), Victoria (27%) and Queensland (22%). 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). A total of 24 projects or 50% would be considered coastal, 22% inner city, 12% rural and 14% suburban.
