Architect Roger Margerum featured in Detroit Home & at NOMA Events

Pioneering Detroit Architect Roger Margerum's 45-degree polygonal residence is featured in the Fall 2008 issue of Detroit Home magazine, which is on newsstands now. The structure, completed in 2005, is located on Detroit's east side.
