What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Affoltern is one of Zurich's most Genossenschafts-dominated Quartiere — ABZ, BEP and Heimbau together control approximately 55% of the Wohnstock around Holzerhurd and Wehntalerstrasse, and private Bauherrschaft Sanierungs-projects are limited to a narrow private inventory.

The 1970s Hochhaus-Cohort around Holzerhurd was Asbest-saniert in the 2000s under Stadt Zürich subsidy — buildings that received the subsidy carry a 30-year Rückzahlungs-Verpflichtung that survives ownership transfer, which surprises many private buyers at Notariats-Beurkundung.

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.
