What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here
Oud-West is part of the 1999 19e-eeuwse-ring beschermd stadsgezicht inscription that covers roughly 4,800 buildings around Amsterdam's first ring of pre-canal-belt expansion — Welstand here protects ornamental tegels-and-stucwerk at facade level.
The neighbourhood's 1888-1908 Plan-Kalff parcels were laid out at standardised 5.4m widths to maximise rental yield, and modern doorbraak interventions between adjoining apartments routinely violate Bouwbesluit fire-egress unless a tweede vluchtweg is added at the back-courtyard.
Because Oud-West's pre-1920 pile foundations average 9-11m depth versus the modern 14-18m standard, the Stadsherstel funderingsherstel-loket processes roughly 80-120 grant applications per year from this single neighbourhood.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
