Architectural design in South Granville
South Granville is City of Vancouver's 1910s-1940s period revival + edwardian single-family on rs-5; mid-rise concrete strata along granville street; second shaughnessy character buffer submarket. South Granville sits as the buffer zone between First Shaughnessy and the Granville Street commercial corridor, and the 1910s-1940s Period Revival single-family stock here is subject to character review even though it isn't formally inside the FSDP heritage area — most South Granville renovations involve a Heritage Planner pre-application meeting that can extend the timeline by 6-10 weeks.
What a architectural design project looks like here
South Granville sits as the buffer zone between First Shaughnessy and the Granville Street commercial corridor, and the 1910s-1940s Period Revival single-family stock here is subject to character review even though it isn't formally inside the FSDP heritage area — most South Granville renovations involve a Heritage Planner pre-application meeting that can extend the timeline by 6-10 weeks.
The 2024 multiplex zoning amendments permit 4-8 unit redevelopment on most RS-5 lots in South Granville, and the neighbourhood's 50-foot lot widths (vs Dunbar's 33-foot standard) make South Granville one of the highest-feasibility multiplex sites in Vancouver — pro-forma values on RS-5 lots have re-rated 40-60% since the amendments passed.
Design-build integrated — CAD, elevations, VBBL permit sets, FSDP + Heritage Conservation Area coordination. In South Granville specifically, 1910s-1940s period revival + edwardian single-family on rs-5; mid-rise concrete strata along granville street; second shaughnessy character buffer stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Vancouver scoping flow factors second shaughnessy character buffer and rs-5 + 2024 multiplex amendments 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.
