Architectural design in Pyrmont
Pyrmont is City of Sydney Council's heritage-converted warehouse and wool-store apartments submarket. Pyrmont's wool-store conversions (Goldsbrough Mort, Australian Wharf, Pyrmont Power Station) are individually heritage-listed as Items of State Significance — internal wall changes need a Heritage Impact Statement plus state-agency referral via Heritage NSW, adding 8-14 weeks to consent.
What a architectural design project looks like here
Pyrmont's wool-store conversions (Goldsbrough Mort, Australian Wharf, Pyrmont Power Station) are individually heritage-listed as Items of State Significance — internal wall changes need a Heritage Impact Statement plus state-agency referral via Heritage NSW, adding 8-14 weeks to consent.
The Foreshore Building Line and Foreshore DCP impose setback and overshadowing tests on any development within 50m of the harbour edge — most Pyrmont rear-extension scopes need a clause-6.1 foreshore-protection assessment.
Many Pyrmont sandstone-walled warehouses retain original 19th-century sawn-floor timber framing on tallowwood or ironbark — replacement-grade timber is essentially unavailable today, so renovation scopes typically retain and refinish rather than replace.
AIA-accredited design — DA drawings, CC technical design, Heritage Conservation Area + Heritage Item assessment, BASIX certification. In Pyrmont specifically, heritage-converted warehouse and wool-store apartments stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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
Pyrmont architectural design projects typically run $14K–$245K. Pyrmont's heritage-converted warehouse and wool-store apartments stock, combined with pyrmont heritage conservation area — extensive industrial-heritage coverage, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $130K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
