The Curator’s Apartment is a pared-back, art-filled holiday rental in Bath that doubles as an artistic retreat. It is the first design-led rental created by Tina Liu, who—after a decade-long career in the City—is now a property developer intent on creating individually crafted spaces for passing travelers seeking ease and authenticity.
A view of Walcot Street. Tina lived and studied in Bath as a teenager and has been captivated by its elegance ever since.
“By filling the space with interesting art and objects, I hope the apartment encourages guests to notice their beauty and to enjoy life at a slightly slower pace,” says Tina.
In the hallway hangs a bespoke installation by the local floral design studio, Lunaria Somerset.
“I wanted the apartment to be more than just a space to sleep,” explains Tina, who commissioned the artist Lawrence Calver to produce the artwork above the mantlepiece.
A cocooning cloakroom has the most beautiful view of the Mendip Hills.
In the dining room, Tina sourced three pairs of dining chairs from three different periods.
The small-yet-functional kitchen overlooks the rear garden.
