Back to Case Studies
Overlooking the breath-taking Lligwy Beach and nestled near the ancient Iron Age settlement of Din Lligwy, a new luxury wedding venue, The Anglesey Barn, has been brought to life with design features that combine timeless heritage with modern design. This one-of-a-kind venue features windows and doors from The Residence Collection’s R7 and R2 systems, installed in partnership with fabricator M & G Windows and installer Dekko Windows.
Originally specified in aluminium, the development team transitioned to The Residence Collection after reassessing the design, performance and sustainability goals of the project. The R7 and R2 systems deliver the same clean, flush aesthetic associated with aluminium, while providing significantly improved thermal performance. With u-values as low as 1.2 W/m2K using double glazing, these products exceed current Building Regulations and reduce long-term energy demands – essential in a project aiming for luxury, comfort and sustainability.
Located on a working farm, the venue’s transformation is a tribute to the region’s rich agricultural and cultural history. Now, the beautifully restored Dutch Barn, accompanied by luxurious guest accommodations, has been designed to host weddings for up to 150 guests.
Every property on-site features Residence Collection R7 and R2 systems, finished externally in Eclectic Grey to complement the timber cladding, and internally in Grained White to provide a clean, neutral interior perfect for personalised wedding décor. Despite the different functions and styles of the buildings, the use of shared design elements such as square beading and the Radlington cill ensures visual consistency and unity across the development. The interchangeable components across the Residence systems also helped streamline the fabrication and installation process.
The decision to use The Residence Collection was not purely aesthetic. All windows and doors meet PAS24 certification and comply with BS6375 Parts 1, 2 and 3, covering weather resistance, operational performance and structural strength. With a 75mm frame depth, the R7 system features seven chambers for improved thermal, acoustic and structural performance – far surpassing traditional three- or five-chamber systems. The R2 system complements this by offering the same flush external finish, but with a sleek internal square detail designed to replicate the modern look of aluminium.
Sustainability was also a driving factor in product selection. The windows and doors include reinforcement made from 100% recycled PVC, and the entire profile can be recycled up to 10 times, aligning with the project’s long-term sustainability goals.
While the bespoke nature and volume of the project introduced fabrication challenges, the schedule was met through phased delivery and additional staffing. The first wedding has already been successfully hosted, marking the project’s transformation from derelict outbuildings to one of the UK’s most picturesque and thoughtfully designed wedding venues.
