Garden design in 14e Arrondissement (Montparnasse / Denfert)

14e Arrondissement (Montparnasse / Denfert) is 14e arr. — Observatoire's haussmannien + early-20th c. art déco + montparnasse 1970s tower submarket. Most of the 14e sits over the former Catacombes / carrière souterraine network — every Permis de Construire dossier in the south of the arrondissement requires an Inspection Générale des Carrières (IGC) report before any foundation work, and ~15% of dossiers turn up unmapped voids that force pile-foundation redesign.

What a garden design project looks like here

Most of the 14e sits over the former Catacombes / carrière souterraine network — every Permis de Construire dossier in the south of the arrondissement requires an Inspection Générale des Carrières (IGC) report before any foundation work, and ~15% of dossiers turn up unmapped voids that force pile-foundation redesign.

The 14e has one of Paris's surviving cohorts of pre-1930 ateliers d'artiste with double-height north-facing glazing — current RE 2020 thermal targets are nearly impossible to hit on these without compromising the original glazing pattern, so most rénovation lourde dossiers route through a heritage-of-use derogation.

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.
