What a interior design project looks like here

Fitzroy is Australia's oldest declared suburb (1839) and its HO covers the densest cluster of pre-1880 Victorian terraces in Melbourne — City of Yarra rejection rates on contributory-dwelling alterations exceeded 22% in 2024 financial year.

Many Fitzroy laneway parcels are sub-200 m² with 3.4-4.0 m frontages — modern code-compliant rebuilds usually require ResCode setback derogations under Clause 54 that take 6-12 months to negotiate.

Cabinetry + custom joinery + finishes — Heritage Overlay-compatible specs, AS 3740 waterproofing, AS 1428 accessibility. In Fitzroy specifically, victorian terraces + federation + brunswick street commercial mix stock means interior design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Melbourne scoping flow factors heritage overlay ho336 + ho327 and city of yarra contributory grading 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.
