Extensions, renovations & new homes
One designer, start to finish
A local residential practice
Good residential design begins with how you want to live. It might mean opening a dark cottage to the garden, making a listed house work for modern family life, replacing a cold extension, or finding the right way to build on a difficult site.
Based in Nailsworth, Webster Architecture & Interiors works on homes throughout Stroud District and the surrounding Cotswolds. Anthony leads each project personally, balancing ambition with planning, construction, budget and the character of the existing building.
The result should never feel imposed. New work can be confident and contemporary while still belonging to its setting — and the process of getting there should feel clear, collaborative and enjoyable.
Residential projects around Stroud
Three very different projects, each shaped by an existing house, a particular family and the landscape around it.
A glass-roofed link and a rebuilt heart for a Grade II listed former pub, making the relationship between old and new deliberately clear.

The service can be tailored to the stage you are at, or carried from the first sketch through to completion.
Understand what your site or existing house can support before committing to a direction, purchase or budget.
Make existing homes lighter, better connected and more useful, with additions that belong to the building and landscape.
Resolve the house around its site, views, orientation and the way you want to live — from concept to construction.
Prepare thoughtful applications for sensitive sites, conservation areas and listed homes, supported by clear design reasoning.
Develop materials, junctions, lighting, joinery and construction information so the design survives the journey onto site.
Carry the same thinking through the interior and work closely with consultants, makers and builders during delivery.
Planning in Stroud District
Stroud District contains an unusually rich mix of listed buildings, conservation areas, steep sites, converted industrial buildings and Cotswold stone homes. Every project needs a response to its particular context rather than a standard style.
Early conversations with planners and conservation officers can be valuable on sensitive work. Clear drawings, honest materials and a well-explained design approach give an application the strongest foundation.
Planning is one part of the project, not the whole ambition. The aim is to secure consent for a home that will also be practical to build and a pleasure to live in.
How the process works
Talk through the house, the problems, the opportunities and what a successful project would change for you.
Survey the site, test options and develop a clear concept before fixing the design too early.
Take the preferred design through planning, technical decisions, cost conversations and builder coordination.
Stay involved while the work is realised, protecting the important details and helping decisions move forward.
Anthony kept the client front and centre of decision making, ensuring they got maximum value and importantly, a beautiful and practical addition to their home. — Tim Watkins · April 2025
