Custom home design in Garfield
Garfield is Central City Village's bungalow submarket. Garfield was platted 1885-1925 as Phoenix's earliest streetcar suburb east of downtown — the historic district was locally designated in 2010 and represents working-class bungalow stock distinct from the more affluent Willo and Encanto-Palmcroft.
What a custom home design project looks like here

Because Garfield lots are tight (40-50' fronts), modern remodels frequently cluster against narrow side-yard setbacks — variance applications are common and add 6-10 weeks to project timeline.
Garfield retains a higher concentration of shotgun-cottage typology (long narrow homes 12-15' wide) than other Phoenix historic districts — kitchen reconfiguration options are limited by the linear floor plan.
Ground-up residential — design through Phoenix PDD permit through CO. Expansive-soil + caliche layers require geotech + post-tension slab on most lots. In Garfield specifically, bungalow stock means custom home design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Phoenix scoping flow factors garfield historic district and federal historic tax credit eligible (20% qre) 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.
