What a custom home design project looks like here

Primrose Hill's summit has the Mayor's London View Management Framework Protected Vista corridor towards St Paul's — any roof-level extension within that corridor is categorically refused, regardless of setback or height.

Because Primrose Hill terraces were built by different developers in short runs of 6-12 houses, basement conversion design must respect the specific developer's original footing depth — which varies between 900mm and 1.4m across a single street.

Camden's Local List protects street-level cast-iron railings and gate piers on most Primrose Hill terraces — any gate replacement requires a Local List consent in addition to LBC or Planning.

Ground-up residential — design through Full Plans Building Regs through completion certificate. Mayor's London Plan 2021, GLA energy hierarchy, sustainable-drainage SuDS compliance. In Primrose Hill specifically, early-to-mid-victorian terraces (1840-1870) + georgian adjacent + regent's park setting stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's London scoping flow factors primrose hill conservation area and regent's park setting 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.
