Max Koutchinski is a German-Russian architect with over 30 years of experience in Europe and Russia. He has worked as the director of his own architectural firm in Berlin and has also held leadership roles with large international firms like Aukett Fitzroy Vostok in Moscow and Eller + Eller Architekten with offices in Germany and Eastern Europe. He has extensive experience managing architectural projects of all sizes, from individual homes to large commercial and mixed-use developments. He is fluent in German, English, and Russian.
Demonstrated history of working in the architectural consulting industry.
Skilled in architectural design, 3D modeling & visualization. A professional with a BSc in Architecture focused on urbanism studies from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts.
Having resided in multiple cities over the last few years, both my instinctive interest and immediate exposure to many developing, expanding urban environments, has cultivated my devotion and passion to study urban settings and environments. With design and adoption of aesthetics being the center of my interest, I have always distinguished Architecture as an art.
Having worked on various scale projects -that require research studies and finding solutions to resolve complex urban issues- it has enabled me to adopt a comprehensive approach to urban planning and design, as well as, improve my capability to resolve issues linked to inadequate planning.
I firmly believe in architectural integration and perceive urban fabric as a catalyst for awareness to integrate the inside with the out, exploring the role of buildings as they connect and reinforce the major threads of urban tissues known as the study of urban morphology. The focus of urban design should shift towards the creation of qualities that create vibrant neighborhoods, which contributes to a successful World City, evolving and maintaining its beauty through time.
