What a interior design project looks like here

Coogee's Art Deco apartment stock concentrates around Beach Street, Carrington Road and Arden Street — Randwick Council DAs here screen for retention of original streamlined-modern facade detailing, including curved balcony fronts and pressed-metal entry canopies.

Randwick LEP 2012 R3 zone caps building height at 12m on Coogee's apartment stock — many 1960s walk-ups already exceed this, so any roof-line alteration triggers a clause-4.6 height-variance request rather than Permitted Development.

The Coastal Management SEPP coastal-vulnerability area covers Coogee Beach + Gordons Bay frontages — DA assessments here need a coastal-hazard report, adding 4-6 weeks to consent.

Bespoke joinery, period restoration, contemporary fit-out — integrated with construction programme. In Coogee specifically, inter-war art deco apartments stock means interior design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Sydney scoping flow factors coogee heritage conservation area and coastal management sepp into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
