The Studio
Situário is an architecture studio based in Lisbon, Portugal, specialising in the design of residences and commercial projects.
Situário crafts innovative, sustainable spaces that inspire well-being; we create solutions that are contextually-sensitive and emotionally striking.
Situário uses Building Information Modelling (BIM) technologies in the refurbishment of buildings and in the development of new-build projects of any size, from furniture to street scale. The usage of BIM allows us to offer projects closely tailored to your needs and budget, while also being able to create more accurate visualisations.
On our website you’ll find more information regarding the work we do and how we do it.
Simon David Watson, Founding Director
Simon Watson set up Situário in 2019 having gained extensive experience in award-winning architectural practices in Edinburgh (Scotland), London (UK) and Frankfurt (Germany).
Simon was raised in Lisbon in a Scottish-Portuguese family; in addition to being bilingual in Portuguese and English, he speaks fluent Spanish and conversational German. He was educated at The University of Edinburgh (RIBA Part I, First Class Degree), The Royal College of Art in London (RIBA Part II, Pass with Distinction), and London South Bank University (top of cohort for RIBA Part III).
Simon’s broad architectural experience spans many project types, at varying scales, in several European, Asian and African countries. Simon is committed to researching the optimum solution to any project, and is keen to develop innovative solutions sensitively while engaging with the wider design team. Having a keen eye for detail and a sensitive approach to site enables Simon to create spaces that are quietly understated yet inspiring.
Simon is registered with the Architect’s Registration Board in the UK and with the Ordem dos Arquitectos in Portugal.
