For more than four decades, Patrick Ahearn Architect has specialized in creating classic American architecture designed for contemporary living. Whether restoring and renovating landmarked homes or crafting new residences that reimagine the classical architectural vernacular of New England, our firm balances the romance of traditional architecture with the ideals of modernism.
Leadership
Patrick Ahearn, FAIA
Founder
View BioOne of America’s most celebrated classical architects, AIA Fellow Patrick Ahearn has focused on historically motivated, site-sensitive residences that have advanced the art of place-making in some of the nation’s most desirable destinations for the past 50 years. On Martha’s Vineyard alone he has has lent his expertise to more than 400 homes, 225 in the Edgartown Village Historic District. Today, he oversees 16 architects at the firm that bears his name while also deftly drafting firsthand.
Whether reviving centuries-old landmarked structures along the coast, creating new homes that reimagine the local vernacular of Martha’s Vineyard, or bringing his own brand of timeless architecture to locations across the country, Ahearn demonstrates an unparalleled ability to combine the romance of traditional architecture with the ideals of modernism. With his work, he balances preservation with innovation to design structures that feel truly timeless.
Ahearn adapts and applies philosophy’s greater good theory to each of his projects. The idea of the greater good encapsulates his profound belief that architecture has the power to improve lives, to increase happiness and to encourage friendly and familiar interactions. To achieve the goals of this theory, Ahearn designs buildings that are human-scaled and sensitively sited, paying as much attention to the spaces between structures as to the structures themselves. The greater good theory allows Ahearn to create what he calls non-ego-driven architecture – he measures the success of his designs not on their ability to embellish the reputation of his clients or himself, but instead on their capacity to enhance the public realm.
A master of vernacular architecture styles, Ahearn develops his schemes based on decades of careful study and extensive knowledge of historic and regional context. Through the practice of what he refers to as narrative-driven architecture he creates a storyline for every home he restores, renovates or builds from the ground up. This scripting gives his buildings a sense of implied history, and at the same time lets them expand in scope and plan to contain the various needs of 21st-century living. It also helps his houses comfort their residents and guests with a nostalgic sense of familiarity and a reassuring link to the past. Ahearn uses rich materials, artisanal craftsmanship and pitch-perfect period details to create buildings that look just right in their locations, as if they could have been built three centuries ago or just last year.
Aesthetically, Ahearn’s homes are clearly and authentically connected to the character and history of a locale, while at the same time their programs, plans and integration of technology celebrate the way we live today.
Raised in Levittown, New York, and now based in Boston, Ahearn received degrees in architecture and urban design from Syracuse University where he proudly serves as Trustee. A recipient of countless awards, Ahearn and his work have been featured in publications and broadcast outlets including Architectural Digest, the Wall Street Journal, The Magnolia Network and more. His acclaimed monograph, Timeless, was published in 2018 and his second published work, History Reinterpreted, was published in 2023. His firm maintains offices on Newbury Street in Boston and within the village of Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard.

Mike Tartamella, AIA
Managing Principal
View BioMike Tartamella began his career at Patrick Ahearn Architect in 2005. In his early years with the firm, he worked closely with Patrick, developing a deep understanding of the firm’s design philosophy and approach. In recognition of his leadership and talent, he was promoted to Managing Principal in 2018. Since then, Mike has played a pivotal role in guiding some of the firm’s most significant, and award-winning projects.
Mike continues to demonstrate a deep commitment to the firm’s distinctive approach to timeless architecture. Patrick often says, “Mike sees with my eyes,” a testament to the trust and alignment they share in design vision and philosophy.
A native of Maryland, Mike developed an interest in architecture at a young age while watching his uncle design homes on the East End of Long Island. Captivated by the artful craftsmanship of hand drafting and the personalized nature of working with clients, he knew early on that he wanted to become a residential architect. His passion for traditional architecture—especially shingle-style homes—was further shaped by summer travels throughout the Northeast during his high school years. To Mike, the scale and character that define the New England vernacular make homes both enduring and livable.
While managing the firm’s day-to-day operations Mike also spearheads projects all over the country. He earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Roger Williams University, is a registered architect, and is a member of the American Institute of Architects and Boston Society of Architects. In addition, Mike holds a National Council of Architectural Registration Board certification.
Outside of the firm, Mike serves on the Board of Directors for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art’s New England Chapter, is a guest critic at Roger Williams University, and contributed to shaping the Town of Wellesley’s Unified Plan. An avid golfer, he also enjoys renovating his own historic home. Mike resides in Wellesley, Massachusetts with his wife and two children.
