Fashion heir Tom Lane moves into Byron Bay
Joel RobinsonDecember 7, 2020
Tom Lane, grandson of Oroton fashion empire founder, has moved into the Byron Bay township with wife, Emma.
They've secured a $3.25 million, white-box style residence that draws contemporary architectural comparisons with their recently sold $3.5 million hinterland home, Amilika.
The Manly-based Lane family originally went to Byron Bay in search of a big old Queenslander as their holiday home and are now partners in the organic farming and tourist venture known as The Farm. I spotted he has number plates with the FARM.
The home, architecturally inspired by Isay Weinfeld, sits on 1000 sqm in the old town precinct. It was marketed as having a climate controlled solar chimney.
