Another warning about using AI without human critical thinking.

Swedish researchers fed a fake medical diagnosis, along with phony scientific studies, into AI chatbots to see if they would fall for it – and they did.

Next Stop in Our Full Home Renovation in Pound Ridge: Meet the Design-Build Leadership Team Behind Every Detail

You’ve seen the home. You’ve seen the full team. Now meet the trio behind the full-house renovation project in Pound Ridge, NY: Scott, Raul & Tina.

Our design-build leadership team — architect, designer, and builder — has worked together for over a decade, solving problems early and behind the scenes so the experience stays stress-free, on budget, and on target. With decades of combined experience, they ensure every project is thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.

What makes them even more special? They’re not just colleges — years of collaboration and friendship mean every project benefits from their seamless teamwork and shared vision.

📸 See them at work, in laughter, and a little behind-the-scenes fun. They can’t even keep a straight face when they are “fighting”!


📐 We design first — not on site.
Every detail is planned, drawn, selected, and priced before construction begins — eliminating costly surprises and last-minute decisions that delay projects.

📐 We procure before we build.
Materials are ordered early and aligned with lead times so that once construction starts, work flows smoothly — no waiting, no gaps. When construction begins, there’s only one focus: build flawlessly — and finish without interruption.

Next Stop in Our Full Home Renovation in Pound Ridge: A Closer Look at the Custom Shower in the Master Bathroom

An arched entry leads to a luxury shower with “his and hers” shower heads with independent temperature control. A skylight bathes the marble tile and brushed gold finishes in light.

So much behind the scenes planning goes into a custom shower – note how the 10” panel on the left assures that the shower door can’t hit the fixtures when opened inwards and see how the sloped bench makes sitting without your heels banging the bench so much more comfortable – for a real spa experience!

🏡 Next Stop in Our Full Home Renovation in Pound Ridge: Welcoming Foyer

To connect the bold colors in the dining room and living room, the foyer needed a more neutral, earth tone pallet. A graceful arched mahogany double entry door and mosaic tile floor give the entry drama, and ties the bold colored spaces together.
