Patrick Ahearn – Saturday July 28, 2018 at 11am
As the Principal at Patrick Ahearn Architects, LLC, Ahearn excels in his thoughtful approach in adapting historic homes to the way people want to live today, incorporating the needs for modern technology, environmental controls and current building codes without affecting the building’s historical integrity. His sensitivity to the property’s original spirit results in a beautifully restored home that looks authentic and silent on the streetscape. This lecture will elaborate on his work in Newport, RI, and across New England.
