What a green building project looks like here

West Highland is Highland's western extension — the 1908-1935 stock is more uniformly bungalow + Denver Square than the older Italianate Highland core.

Because the Witter-Cofield Historic District covers a chunk of West Highland, LPC review applies to facade-visible additions on those blocks.

Pop-top second stories are West Highland's signature remodel — the 35 ft height cap + Highland's small lot widths shape every second-story design decision.

Denver Green Code voluntary above-base path, 2024 IECC compliance, all-electric conversions, heat pumps with cold-climate variants for Front Range winters. In West Highland specifically, bungalow + denver square + tudor (1908-1935) stock means green building scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Denver scoping flow factors witter-cofield historic district and pop-top second story common 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.
