Orton Companies designs and builds barndominiums in Forest Lake in Minnesota — living space, shop, and storage under one roof, detailed for Minnesota weather.
A shop-house in Forest Lake has to work as a home and as a building you can pull into.

Design and construction stay with the same crew from the first sketch to move-in.
