What a architectural design project looks like here
Madrona sits on Lake Washington's western bluff — 1910-1960 stock includes some of Seattle's most significant MCM architect-designed homes.
Because bluff-edge lots face ECA + Shoreline review, permit complexity is high — many projects require Master Use Permits.
The neighborhood's MCM stock is increasingly recognized as architecturally significant — informal preservation advocacy is active.
Design-build integrated — CAD, elevations, SDCI permit sets, Landmark Preservation Board coordination. In Madrona specifically, craftsman stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Seattle scoping flow factors eca landslide prone + steep slope on bluff lots and shoreline master program on lakefront 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
Madrona architectural design projects typically run $16K–$225K. Madrona's craftsman stock, combined with eca landslide prone + steep slope on bluff lots, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $121K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
