Rolf Peters (1972) has studied Civil Engineering and Business at the Delft University of Technology. He is founder of the Dutch architectural firm Waterstudio.NL that specializes in floating structures to counter concerns of floods, which are both a local concern (one-third of the Netherlands is reclaimed land) and a global one due to the possible effects of climate change.  
In 2002 he quit his job as project developer to start a business in Architecture, City planning and innovation concerning constructions on and near the water. Nowadays Waterstudio.NL is a worldwide leading company in this niche market of architecture. In co-operation with large engineering companies and investment companies Waterstudio develops Water related projects, such as in Dubai, Buenos Aires, and of course in the home Country The Netherlands.
