Spink’s latest residential offering is a small but perfectly formed private residence in London’s Kensington

Few practices explore architecture with the holistic approach and fervent passion of Spink. The British company weaves together refined, contemporary design with the time-honed expertise of a master builder under the leadership of Mike Spink; and Little Gem, a single-family home in West London’s Kensington, is the studio’s latest offering.

很少有实践通过Spink的整体方法和热情来探索架构。这家英国公司在MikeSpink的领导下，将精良、现代的设计与大师建筑商的时间磨练在一起；LittleGem是伦敦西部肯辛顿的单一家庭住宅，是工作室最新推出的产品。

‘It is minimal in design, generous in scale’, says Spink, explaining that this project is all about ‘subtle materials, thoughtful design and precision of execution’. The two bedroom home may appear bijoux at a fairly compact 191 sq m, but a philosophy of ‘less is more’ was strongly embedded in its concept right from the start.

斯宾克说，它在设计上是最小的，规模也很大。他解释说，这个项目都是关于“微妙的材料、深思熟虑的设计和执行的精确性”。这座两居室的住宅可能看起来很紧凑，面积191平方米，但“少即多”的理念从一开始就深深植根于它的理念之中。

Spanning three levels, with private areas on the bright lower ground floor and social spaces above, the interior flows, connected through a central, white, sculptural staircase. Its centrepiece though, is the extra-generous oak-panelled master bedroom suite, which includes a Japanese style courtyard, walk-in wardrobe and Carrara marble bathroom area of a size typically found in dwellings several times larger than this one.

它跨越三层，在明亮的底层和上面的社交空间的私人区域，内部流动，通过一个中央，白色，雕塑楼梯连接。不过，它的核心是非常大方的橡木镶板主卧室套房，其中包括一个日式庭院、步入式衣柜和卡拉拉大理石浴室面积，其面积通常是这个房间的几倍。

Large openings direct the eye out towards the rear garden, created by landscape specialist Christopher Bradley-Hole. Lead architect and designer Franz Borho – a former director at David Chipperfield – ensured everything exudes understated luxury and simplicity, while the interiors include bespoke furniture from the company’s ‘By Spink’ branch. §
