In July 2016, the Amsterdam-based design and engineering practice Studio OBA revealed their design concept Prenuptial Housing.

The concept is a response to the increasing divorce rates in Dutch society, with the creater Omar Kbiri hoping that 'Prenuptial Housing is a solution for the increasing number of marriages that end up in divorce'.

The design consists of two independent prefabricated units that form the foundation of a single floating house; the studio looking towards Amsterdam's canal network and strong design tradition for floating architecture as inspiration.

The two units are to be connected Tetris-like with a simple fastening mechanism. The idea is that when the couple splits up, they can detach the two units to float apart as separate housing again.

The building consists of lightweight carbon fibre elements and a semi-transparent wooden layer that enhances the unity and possibility to adapt to different environments, as well as enabling it to float.
