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.
Salmond graduated from Victoria University in 1980, and then worked for Athfield Architects, collaborating there with Clare Athfield. 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.
In the late 1980s, Salmond relocated to Wānaka and established the practice of Salmond Architecture there. 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. This interest is reflected with her developing structural insulated panels, for use in local housing.
In 2019, she was made a Distinguished Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Architects, in recognition of her contribution to New Zealand architecture. As of 2023, she has been an assessor for the New Zealand Registered Architects Board for more than 15 years.
