What a exterior design project looks like here

Bouldin Creek sits immediately south of Lady Bird Lake — the 1900-1940 bungalow stock has seen major post-2010 redevelopment pressure.

Because the neighborhood lacks HLC designation, Subchapter F McMansion rules are the primary constraint on scale.

Bouldin Creek's namesake creek floodplain affects low-elevation parcels with base-flood-elevation compliance.

Craftsman bungalow facades, Mid-Century modern restoration, limestone exteriors — Historic Landmark Commission for designated properties. In Bouldin Creek specifically, craftsman bungalow stock means exterior design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Austin scoping flow factors no formal historic district and subchapter f mcmansion ordinance applies 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.
