“The situation carries the solution.”

S I III O II I Architectes was founded in 1980 by Vittorio Simoni and has now been active for 45 years. From our studio, we combine architecture and interior design into one integrated whole. We do not believe in decoration as a final layer, but in a total project in which space, materials, and experience come together to form a single, timeless experience.

Our approach always starts from the place itself and the client’s wishes. Each project is thoroughly analysed before the first sketch is made. This dialogue between context, function, and identity forms the foundation of our work.

We enjoy working with local materials and craftsmanship to express the soul of a place — whether in Belgium, Austria, Lombok, or New York.

From the very beginning of his career, Simoni has followed a highly specific design methodology, which he describes as situational theory. He believes that architecture cannot be reduced to universal theories, but must take into account the many elements that play a role during both the design and realisation phases.
In this book, we explore not only the distinctive body of work of the Simoni architecture studio, but also the unique situational architecture of Vittorio Simoni himself.
