Richter, the son of an artist , entered the civil service in St. Petersburg in September 1827 and immediately became a draftsman for the construction of St. Isaac's Cathedral . At the same time he was a student at the Imperial Academy of Arts (IACh) . In 1833 he completed his studies as a first-class architecture artist with a gold medal and a scholarship for further studies. In May 1834 he traveled to Italy with the task of studying the architecture there and, on his return, presenting the graphic reconstruction of an architectural monument. In September 1839 the IACh appointed him an academic in architecture. In 1840 he became a member of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera . In 1841 he became a professor at the IACh. In February 1841 he was seconded to the Moscow Building Commission and sent to build the Great Kremlin Palace . In 1843 he became the chief court architect and designed the Vladimir Hall and the Alexander Hall of the Great Kremlin Palace. To this end, he directed the construction of the armory of the Moscow Kremlin . 1844–1847 Richter built the Annunciation Church for Anna Dmitrijewna Naryschkina next to her dacha in Moscow's Petrovsky Park. He led the reconstruction of the Khamovnichesky barracks (Komsomolski Prospect 18–22).

From 1842 Richter was director of the Moscow Court Architecture School, which in 1865 merged with the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture with Richter as a council member. In 1850, Richter's six-volume work on the monuments of Old Russian architecture with drawings and plans of the facades and floor plans was published, which is in the library of the Moscow Architecture Institute . A second edition appeared in 1856. In 1856 Richter was appointed to the Real Council of State (4th class ).
