Igloo Windows

Spring has sprung (at least for the moment), but here’s a look back on a winter pastime.

When the snow falls in record amounts, what on earth do you do it? Ed Hagele decided to build an igloo for a good time. But it needed a final, special touch. In order to let the sunshine in, Ed decided to add a window to his building masterpiece. Luckily, Ed had an in when it comes to windows. One of his parents, Re Hagele of Hagele Architects had a sample of a Marvin window that he could use.

Ed’s beautiful igloo was a great addition to the Hagele backyard until the snow melted…and one of the more unusual “applications” for a Marvin window!
