Architectural design in Richmond
Richmond is City of Yarra's workers' cottages + victorian terraces + factory conversions + post-1990 infill submarket. Richmond has one of metro Melbourne's largest stocks of converted Victorian factory buildings — about 25% of large-format dwellings in the suburb are in HO334-listed conversions with original 1880-1920 industrial fabric still partially exposed.
What a architectural design project looks like here
Richmond has one of metro Melbourne's largest stocks of converted Victorian factory buildings — about 25% of large-format dwellings in the suburb are in HO334-listed conversions with original 1880-1920 industrial fabric still partially exposed.
Yarra River flood zone reaches well into central Richmond — about 12% of dwellings have habitable rooms below LFRA flood level.
Architect-led from concept to construction docs — Heritage Overlay submissions, ResCode + Better Apartments compliance. In Richmond specifically, workers' cottages + victorian terraces + factory conversions + post-1990 infill stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Melbourne scoping flow factors heritage overlay ho334 + ho337 and city of yarra contributory grading into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
Richmond architectural design projects typically run $11K–$165K. Richmond's workers' cottages + victorian terraces + factory conversions + post-1990 infill stock, combined with heritage overlay ho334 + ho337 — richmond industrial + south richmond, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $88K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
