Formally the Orton Building HQ, the site is now the postal address of two luxury family homes.
Husband and wife duo Justine and Luke Orton decided to take on the challenge of transforming the site into not one, but two modern abodes fit for contemporary family living.
The facade leaves no trace of the warehouse that once was, with a striking combination of textured cladding, battening and a luscious rooftop garden.
From the early days of planning Orton 2.0 Luke and Justine knew they wanted to include the Escea DF960 Gas Fireplace.
No strangers to a challenge, they originally engaged Escea when they were building their first home, Orton Haus 1.0 – fast foward 4 years later, they’re still using the Escea DF Series in their projects.
