What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here

Escher Wyss is part of the Stadt Zürich Hochhausgebiet HHG3 framework — towers above 25 m need a Schattenwurf-Studie that demonstrates no neighbouring Wohnnutzung loses more than 2 hours of winter sun, and the AfB regularly denies upper-storey volumes that fail the threshold.

Prime Tower at 126 m sits next to the Maag-Areal and triggered the original Hochhauskonzept Stadt Zürich 2009 — most Konversionen above 50 m follow the same städtebauliche Grundsätze, and the 2009 framework still constrains every new Baugesuch with a height +30% of the Umgebungs-Mittelwert cap.

Zurich kitchens — galley to open-plan conversions, MEP relocations, custom cabinetry — scoped against Hochbauamt Zurich + SIA 380/1 + KBOB on permitted layouts. In Escher Wyss specifically, post-industrial loft konversion stock means kitchen remodeling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Zurich scoping flow factors sondernutzungsplan hochhausgebiet hhg3 and schattenwurf-studie 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.
