Kelly Gaffney, the architect, that prompted [builder] Mr. [J.D.] Swenson to name his home ‘The Shamrock.’ ‘ We built this one to appeal to the taste of most people who like contemporary homes,’ said Mr. Swenson. ‘Extremes have been avoided.’ Nevertheless the house contains such up-to-now innovations as flick-a-switch air conditioning, and intercom system, and power driven garage doors controlled by an electronic eye.
