What a architectural design project looks like here

Druid Hills (planned by Olmsted Brothers, 1905) is one of the American South's most significant early-20th-century planned suburbs — featured in 'Driving Miss Daisy' (1989).

Because NRHP + Landmark designation applies, exterior changes require Certificate of Appropriateness.

The neighborhood's mature Olmsted-designed landscape is specifically protected — tree ordinance is rigorously enforced.

Design-build integrated — CAD, elevations, Office of Buildings permit sets, Urban Design Commission coordination on Landmark parcels. In Druid Hills adj specifically, colonial revival stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Atlanta scoping flow factors druid hills historic district and olmsted brothers planned neighborhood (1905) 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.
