At Home with Patrick Ahearn

Contest Rules

We are pleased to launch the At Home with Patrick Ahearn contest—in lieu of Feature House Friday—to be hosted on the first Friday of every month. One Instagram follower will win ideas from Patrick for their residence based on their home’s unique challenges delivered via a personalized video posted on Instagram and our YouTube channel.

To enter,

  1. Follow us on Instagram
  2. Like the Instagram post announcing the contest
  3. Tag as many friends as you would like in the comments section of the post

Each tagged friend represents one contest entry, and followers are welcome to enter as many times as they like. The winner will be chosen at random and announced the following Friday with Patrick’s ideas shared at the end of the month.

Since 2016, schedule permitting, Patrick has answered questions from homeowners and enthusiasts alike in our Feature House Friday contest. A follower-favorite, Feature House Friday has allowed Patrick to connect with those who appreciate his work in new ways while further communicating his architectural approach and creativity to the public. The At Home with Patrick Ahearn contest will further his tradition of sharing into 2022 and beyond.

Good luck to all of our entrants! In the meantime, we invite you to peruse some past Feature House Friday Videos.
