Shamrock Farm is a ten-acre parcel located in Anderson County. The
design and construction of the house and grounds was accomplished by working
closely with the landscape architect. The scope of work on the project
involved all phases of design, incidental engineering and construction
management for all trades of the construction. The Shingle Style of architecture is distinctively American,
incorporating various styles fashionable in the late 19th century
(1870-1890). The architectural style of Romanesque Revival, Colonial Revival
and the Stick or Carpenter Gothic Styles influenced the Shingle Style. The
Shingle Style of architecture was often composed of complex geometric designs
that are then covered with an exterior skin of wood shingles for the siding
and roof. Wide porches, tall chimneys and geometric rooflines were also characteristic
of the style. Freed from the doctrine of earlier architectural styles,
architects designing in the Shingle Style were able to produce exceptional
buildings. Architectural firms such as McKim, Mead and White, Peabody and
Stearns and Henry Hobson Richardson created many stunning Shingle Style
houses. The Shamrock Farm Shingle Style house was designed with a curved
façade to take advantage of the suns energy throughout the year. Daylight is
effectively integrated with electrical lighting to produce integrated
lighting design. To achieve this lighting levels were calculated to determine
the amount of daylight provided within each room of the house. The design also took advantage of natural
ventilation as the windows were strategically located which provided
excellent cross ventilation. A wrap around porch was designed to reduce
energy cost by shading the windows and walls in the warm months. The complex
design required curved beams, which were fabricated on site and hoisted into
place.
