# Divorce-Simplifying Home Designs This Floating House Concept Was Designed To Make Divorces Easier By Mishal Omar | Published 2016-07-16 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-house-concept References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2016/07/11/prenuptial-housing-omar-kbiri-studio-oba-divorcing-couples-floating-home/) & [studio-oba.nl](http://www.studio-oba.nl/) This floating house concept by [Studio OBA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-columns) and Omar Kbiri aims to simplify divorce proceedings by splitting itself into two. Divorces can be quite difficult and one of the main points of contention throughout divorce proceedings is which partner will be able to keep the house they once lived in together. Omar Kbiri came up with a unique floating house concept called 'Prenuptial Housing' that would be able to [split into two separate parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-offgrid-house) in the case of a divorce. By making the process of divorce "less of an upheaval," the designers of this house aim to relieve some of the emotional and financial stress involved in separating from a marriage partner. Taking the concept of a "prenuptial agreement" as far as it can go, this house is perfect for skeptics who would like to preemptively make housing arrangements to prepare for a divorce down the road. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 95% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Divorce-simplifying Home Designs:** This unique floating house concept aims to simplify divorce proceedings by splitting into two separate parts in the case of a divorce. - **Prenuptial Housing:** The concept of a floating house that can split in two offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the real estate industry, providing a solution to one of the main points of contention in divorce proceedings. - **Emotional and Financial Stress Relief:** Designing homes that are specifically tailored to alleviate the emotional and financial stress involved in divorce can create new opportunities for the mental health and financial industries. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can benefit from embracing the concept of divorce-simplifying home designs, providing an innovative solution for couples going through divorce. - **Mental Health:** Creating homes that consider the emotional well-being of individuals during divorce proceedings presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the mental health industry, offering support during a challenging life transition. - **Financial Services:** Designing homes that address the financial implications of divorce can offer a disruptive innovation opportunity for financial service providers, offering specialized services and products tailored to divorcees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sustainable Floating Cork Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-float-1.md) - [Modern Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pura-vida-floating-home.md) - [Flax Fiber Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-nomad.md) - [Climate-Responsive Prefab Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-pod.md) - [Refreshing Micro-Living Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sffr-house.md) - [Recycled Plastic Floating Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mast.md) - [Curvaceous Privacy Wall Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kwk-promes-open-house.md) - [Self-Designed Evolving Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-columns.md) - [Floating River Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-river-cabin.md)
