At home: modern times

Article Abstract:

Architect James Nagel and contractor Joseph Wangler contracted to build a 10,500-square-foot home in Bannockburn. Nagel also designed a much smaller home for Wangler's personally. The larger home uses a basic steel structure, large glass expanses and windows going into corners. Wangler's swimming pool had to be build before the house was completed to accommodate excavation equipment.
