What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Sherwood Forest is a 1925-1960 residential neighborhood north of Ansley Park — similar architectural mix without Landmark designation.

Because there's no UDC review, permit paths are faster than adjacent Ansley Park or Morningside.

Peachtree Creek floodplain affects some parcels — base-flood-elevation compliance on additions.

Atlanta R-5 residential zones allow ADUs since the 2018 code update — Office of Buildings residential permit; Urban Design Commission review on Landmark parcels. In Sherwood Forest specifically, tudor revival stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Atlanta scoping flow factors no landmark district and tree protection ordinance into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

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.
