In addition to projects "on land", such as the "Generationenwohnen, Nuremberg", Rost.Niderehe have also realised projects "on water", such as the "Hausboot auf dem Eilbekkenal, Hamburg". With the latter, they won a prize in the architecture competition and urban development pilot project of the city of Hamburg for activating the inner-city canals in 2007 and founded the office in 2008. The project was awarded prizes and published several times. Her research interest grew out of her involvement with these building projects. Parallel to working on her doctoral thesis, she founded 2018 the new practice Amelie Rost Architect.
