What a exterior design project looks like here
Tribeca's cast-iron district (1860-1895) is one of only four in the world at this density — Manhattan's own 20-block cast-iron corridor is a nationally protected streetscape.
The average Tribeca loft combination touches four LPC-regulated envelope elements (window bay, parapet, storefront glazing, rooftop bulkhead), which turns a simple DOB ALT-2 into a two-agency review.
LPC review adds 8-14 weeks on top of standard DOB timeline; the tradeoff is a narrower appeal window if the Commission objects to a window replacement spec.
Townhouse facades, storefront integration, LPC-coordinated envelope work — brownstone / limestone / cast-iron restoration. In Tribeca specifically, cast-iron loft buildings (1860-1895) stock means exterior design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's New York City scoping flow factors lpc certificate of appropriateness required and dob alt-2 filing for structural / mep-relocating loft combinations 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.
