Product DescriptionAward-winning architect Patrick Ahearn treats readers to an exclusive tour of the timeless classical homes he?s created in some of New England?s most affluent communities, along the way revealing the unique, site-sensitive philosophy, point of view and principles that allow him to seamlessly balance preservation with innovation and have made him one of the region?s most sought-after and successful residential designers.ReviewWe make sense of our lives by the stories we tell ourselves about those lives. And no place is the curator of those stories like a home. It needn?t be an ancestral house or the place where we raise our families. It might be the cottage we visit only in summer. Or a chalet in the mountains. Or a city condominium. Or even the dream home still in the dream stage. Talk to Patrick Ahearn long enough about architecture, and that?s what you take away: Houses are the frames around our lives. We build them to shelter the spiritual as much as the physical. -- John Budris,Vineyard Style ReviewThat book, Timeless: Classic American Architecture for Contemporary Living (Oro Editions), showcases how Ahearn has expertly ascribed the greater-good theory to his work. Released last December, ?Timeless? features 18 homes designed by Ahearn along with the stories behind their design, as told by Ahearn. The homes?a mix of historic restorations and new construction?are divided into six categories: History Preserved, History Enhanced, History Modernized, History Imagined, History Re-Interpreted, and On The Water. Ahearn and his team put together the 316-page collection in under a year, a challenging feat in itself before taking into consideration Ahearn had four decades worth of work to choose from. -- HALEY COTE,Cape Cod Homes ReviewWith an eye attuned to design from childhood, architect Patrick Ahearn was strongly influenced by his home town of Levittown, New York. The houses and streets of America's first planned community were thoughtfully designed and laid out in a perfect balance of density and scale. When Ahearn writes, in the forward of his new book, that his career has been shaped by two core beliefs?"that design?good design?has the power to improve people's lives, and that learning from the past is crucial to creating the future"?he can trace the origins of that first conviction to his boyhood in Levittown. Ahearn has spent his long career putting those principles into practice here in New England. The two-dozen projects featured in Timeless stand as beautiful evidence of his positive impact on our architectural landscape.Mr. Ahearn?s new book Timeless (subtitled Classic American Archite-ture for Contemporary Living), is a lush tome with hundreds of pictures of Edgartown homes. He says his intention was to pass along some of the lessons learned. ?I?m 67 years old, I?ve been doing this for 44 years,? he says. ?I really felt that my message about how I practice is important, not just for my clients, but even for other architects and other architects to be. I wanted to create a kind of primary about how you work in scale, and how the spaces between the buildings become important, and still be able to accommodate a client?s program, but also teach them about the public good theory, teach them about the context in which you work.? -- STEVE MYRICK,Vineyard Gazette ReviewDowntown Edgartown demonstrates the architect?s ?Greater Good Theory,? which ?enhances the quality of life for the overall community while respecting the local character, scale, and imagery??clearly a tactic with roots in those long ago potato fields. Ahearn?s newly released Timeless: Classic American Architecture for Contemporary Living showcases 18 projects that demonstrate his idea that design has the power to improve lives and enhance happiness. -- KILEY JACQUES,Period Homes ReviewAhearn?s story is told in a new book, Timeless: Classic American Architecture for Contemporary Living, written with Andrew Sessa.
