About Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey is Waterleaf’s resident historic guru and our go-to person for technical and building code issues. Bringing 37 years of experience to your project, his background includes designing commercial, performing arts and religious buildings. Bill's project management style reflects his strong communication and technical skills. Striving to really understand a client’s goals for their project, he works to effectively convey those goals to the project team. Matched with strong problem solving skills and the ability to communicate complex technical details, Bill creates a truly collaborative design process. Bill’s passion is historic preservation and adaptive reuse of buildings - preserving historic integrity and conserving resources by extending the life of buildings. As an advocate for use of sustainable building practices and materials, he sees renovation as a chance to ‘recycle’ a building, and uses existing elements as opportunities within the design.
