Anne Salmond is a New Zealand architect, based in Wānaka, New Zealand. Her work is noted for the emphasis placed on green architecture, sustainability and whole-of-life building design.[1][2]
Career
Salmond graduated from Victoria University in 1980, and then worked for Athfield Architects from 1985 to 1988, collaborating there with Clare Athfield.[3] She was the founding member, with three other architects, of the Wellington practice Architecture+. While a director there, Salmond won the competition held to design the Pātaka Art + Museum in Porirua, which enabled her practice to move towards working on larger-scale buildings.[3]
In the late 1980s, Salmond relocated to Wānaka and established the practice of Salmond Architecture there.[2] Since its founding, Salmond's practice has focused on improving the quality of local housing, and advocating for reducing house size to improve their thermal performance.[3] This interest is reflected with her developing structural insulated panels, for use in local housing.[3]
High Performance Houses
Salmond developed a series of sustainable, modular home designs known as the High Performance Houses. The designs uitilise sustainable materials. pre-fabrication, and passive heating and cooling to achieve a high level of energy efficiency. The houses can also be adapted and extended with modular design and standardised construction methodology. [4][5]
The first High Performance House was built in 2013 as a show-home for the Home Innovation Village (HIVE) in Christchurch. The design was celebrated for its high level of thermal performance, fast build time, and accessible design.[6][7] The thermal performance was mostly achieved by eliminating the thermal bridging in the exterior framing system with very high levels of insulation and thermally broken windows with double glazing. [8]
Recognition
In 2019, she was made a Distinguished Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, in recognition of her contribution to New Zealand architecture.[9] As of 2023, she has been an assessor for the New Zealand Registered Architects Board for more than 15 years.[3]
