Luxury interior design in Yaletown
Yaletown is City of Vancouver's converted edwardian heritage warehouses (1900-1920) on mainland + hamilton submarket. Yaletown's converted warehouses use heavy-timber post-and-beam framing on 18-24 inch Douglas fir columns set on cast-iron base plates — kitchen islands frequently can't be plumbed without engineering review of the slab penetration, since the structural floor system is the floor finish in many lofts and any drilling intersects load paths.

The Yaletown HA-3 Heritage Conservation Area requires Heritage Planner sign-off on any visible facade alteration, including window glazing replacement, and the brick on most pre-1925 warehouse buildings is unfired Vancouver red clay that fails any Type S or Type N modern mortar — re-pointing must use a custom Type O lime-rich blend.
High-end finishes, white-glove procurement, custom millwork for Shaughnessy / Point Grey / West Vancouver estates. In Yaletown specifically, converted edwardian heritage warehouses (1900-1920) on mainland + hamilton stock means luxury interior 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.
