Room, a joint architecture and interior design practice in Bath, have recently completed the renovation of a Grade II listed Georgian apartment on Bath’s artisanal Walcot Street. Room’s co-founder, the interior designer Nina Cooley, explains, “The Curator’s Apartment is an art-filled, stylish and relaxed space available as a luxury short-stay home. The client, a former resident of Bath, acquired the property with the aim to offer a luxury stay that is more home than hotel, an authentic experience of Bath and to showcase original artwork in the space, imagining this would be the home of a well-travelled curator. “The property was sensitively updated and given a warm, understated scheme, finished with an eclectic mix of iconic contemporary and vintage furniture sourced from around the world, and original artwork by British artists. The colour palette was drawn from the heritage colours of the city.” For more: www.room-studio.co.uk
