What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Witikon sits on the Adlisberg-Hang above 600 m elevation and carries Stadt Zürich's strictest Hangzone-overlay outside Leimbach — Geotechnik-Gutachten ist Pflicht ab 12° Hangneigung, and the Bauherrschaft typically pays CHF 30-55K for a Hangsicherungs-Konzept on a major Anbau.

Witikon was integrated into Stadt Zürich in 1934 but retained its rural Bauordnung structure — most parcels are W2 with strict Geschossflächenziffer 0.4, which means even on a 1,000 m² parcel the maximum Wohnfläche is 400 m² across all floors combined.

Zurich ADUs — detached, attached, and conversion paths — scoped against Hochbauamt Zurich + SIA 380/1 + KBOB setback + height + parking variances. In Witikon specifically, 1950s-70s efh + reihenhaus stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
