Tillmann de Graaff

Part 2 Architectural Assistant

Tillmann joined Mikhail Riches in 2014 and is currently leading a private residential scheme in Westminster. He has a close attention to detail with a strong emphasis on materiality. Mikhail Riches offered him a working environment that helped to develop expertise in detailed design and construction experience.

A recent career highlight for Till was his win at the high profile open crit competition for British Land, resulting in an opportunity to take our ideas forward on a £4bn redevelopment of Canada Water.

His previous working experience at Werner Sobek Stuttgart equipped him with extensive knowledge about high-end sustainable housing which he could apply to the Passivhaus scheme in Norwich.

He gained his master’s degree from the RWTH Aachen in Germany where his final project engaged in the design of a fully solar powered house prototype which is built exclusively from recycled materials. During his undergraduate studies, he attended IIT in Chicago and was part of an international workshop exploring sustainable urban development in Ahmedabad, India.
