Stone walls, long drives, and Wi-Fi that reaches the barn.
Pound Ridge is land. Two, four, ten acres, stone walls and a house set well back from the road, often with a barn, a pool house or a studio that needs to be part of the system.
The first problem on a Pound Ridge property is distance. The cable company's router cannot reach a pool house two hundred feet from the main panel, and no amount of mesh equipment fixes that. We run fibre or buried cable to the outbuildings and put access points where measurements say they belong. Everything else depends on this being done right.
The second is power. Pound Ridge loses it more than most of the county, and for longer. Savant Power with a generator on the same plan means the house carries on and nobody has to go outside in the storm. We decide with you which circuits matter and for how long.
After that it is the pleasures: music outdoors that reaches the terrace and the pool without carrying to the road, landscape lighting that shows the stone walls and the trees rather than the fixtures, and a media room for the evenings when nobody is driving anywhere.
Houses here range from 18th-century farmhouses to glass boxes in the woods, and we have learned not to assume. We walk every property before saying anything about scope.

An easier first step
Come and sit in the seating before you decide anything.
The showroom is at 5 N Greenwich Rd in Armonk, with CinemaTech seating on the floor. Ten minutes in the chairs, handling the finishes, settles more than a swatch card will, and it costs nothing.
Common questions
Questions we get from Pound Ridge homeowners.
- Can you get reliable internet to the barn or pool house?
- Yes. The answer is wire, not more wireless. A buried run of fibre or outdoor-rated cable to the outbuilding, and a proper access point inside it. We do this often and it solves the problem for good.
- We lose power several times a year. What is the right setup?
- Battery storage sized to the circuits you care about, with the generator as the longer-duration backup. The system switches over without you noticing, and the app tells you what is running on what. We handle the whole plan with your electrician.
- Will outdoor speakers bother the neighbours?
- Not if they are placed properly. Coastal Source bollards aimed at the seating rather than at the property line give you full sound where you are and very little past it. We set levels with you standing where your neighbours would.
