What a green building project looks like here
Oud-Zuid is H.P. Berlage's 1915 Plan-Zuid masterplan area which received Beschermd Stadsgezicht status in 1992 — Welstand here protects Berlage's specific brick-rhythm and sandstone-trim vocabulary at the strictest non-Centrum tier.
The neighbourhood's 1915-1925 cohort used early reinforced-concrete vloeren before Bouwbesluit-equivalent codes existed, and modern verbouw consistently encounters embedded rebar with insufficient cover — a constructeur-rapport with ferroscan is now standard scope for any structural intervention.
Because Oud-Zuid borders the Concertgebouw and Vondelpark-Concertgebouwbuurt Beschermd Stadsgezicht, a stricter vista-and-skyline review applies to roof terraces and dakkapellen than elsewhere in Plan-Zuid.

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.
