About

I’m Mikhail Betekhtin, an architect and spatial designer based in Berlin, bringing 8+ years of experience across brand experience, exhibitions, retail, interiors, and hospitality. I enjoy translating brand strategy into spatial concepts that feel clear, distinctive, and buildable—whether it’s a compact showroom or a larger adaptive-reuse renovation of historic and industrial buildings.

I’ve worked end-to-end on contract spatial design and exhibition projects, owning everything from concept development and design presentations to 3D visualization and production-ready documentation. I also collaborate remotely with distributed international teams and partners, and I’m proud to have been recognized twice with the Asia Architecture Design Award for Savanna Villas and Raja Ampat.
