What a green building project looks like here

Cole sits between Five Points + Clayton — the 1900-1935 bungalow + Denver Square stock is more modest than Whittier's stock to the east.

Because Cole is non-Landmark + has smaller lots than Whittier, scrape-and-rebuild economics are more marginal — restoration is usually the better-leverage path.

Cole's lot widths (typically 25-30 ft) make pop-top second stories the dominant expansion vehicle when interior remodels exhaust available footprint.

Denver Green Code voluntary above-base path, 2024 IECC compliance, all-electric conversions, heat pumps with cold-climate variants for Front Range winters. In Cole specifically, bungalow + denver square (1900-1935) stock means green building scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
