Custom home design in Hampstead
Hampstead is London Borough of Camden's georgian + queen anne + edwardian + 1930s modernist (lawn road flats isokon) — heath-adjacent submarket. Hampstead Conservation Area was designated in 1968 — one of the first CAs in England — and Camden has layered 5 Article 4 Directions on top over decades, meaning almost all permitted-development rights are removed and even minor repairs can require planning.

Hampstead Conservation Area was designated in 1968 — one of the first CAs in England — and Camden has layered 5 Article 4 Directions on top over decades, meaning almost all permitted-development rights are removed and even minor repairs can require planning.
The Isokon Flats (Wells Coates, 1933-34) are Grade I listed — internal alterations to its 32 flats require LBC and a conservation-accredited architect; even original fitted wardrobes cannot be removed without consent.
Camden's CPG5 on basements (among the strictest in the UK) requires a chartered geotechnical engineer's Basement Impact Assessment, a separate Basement Construction Management Plan, and 12+ months of post-completion heave monitoring — adds roughly £35K-£65K on a typical Hampstead basement conversion.

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.
