Dutch architects Ralf Pasel and Frederik Künzel established Pasel.Künzel Architects in Rotterdam in 2002. The firm, which scooped a first prize at the 2008 International Bauhaus Awards, has projects in the Netherlands, Germany and Chile, while both principals are visiting professors at the Academy of Architecture Rotterdam. 'The central idea behind Floating Home: Kijk! is to develop a prototype house that establishes a strong connection between the building shell and the surrounding landscape,' say Pasel and Künzel.
