离婚房子怎么分?可拆分式漂浮屋让分手更省心

Bizarre floating 'prenup house' can be split in two if a marriage doesn't work out

With divorce rates steadily increasing, some newlyweds are drawing up prenuptial agreements before tying the knot.

随着离婚率的逐步攀升,一些好事将近的情侣会在喜结连理前拟定婚前协议书.

But one firm has set out to help divorcees avoid a real estate battle with a new design that easily splits the home in two - and lets them sail away from each other.

但一家公司别出心裁地提出了一个能让离婚夫妇避免房产争夺战的设计——将房屋一分为二,漂浮的独立单元设计能让劳燕分飞的两人真正"相忘于江湖".

Called Prenuptial Housing, this floating house consists of two independent structures that separate if the couple should split up, resulting in two equal units that can float away from each other.

这一分居概念住宅又称"婚前协议房",它是包含两个独立单元的漂浮建筑,能在夫妇或情侣决定分居时,分离成两个渐行渐远且面积相等的单元.

'The units are initially (pre)fabricated as independent carbon fiber units for which we designed a simple solid connecting system; detaching this system means unlocking the connection and requires no unique tools,' Xander den Duijn with Studio OBA, the design firm behind Prenuptial Housing, told DailyMail.com in an email.

"建筑师会先用碳纤维构筑这两个独立的单元,再用简便坚固的方法连接它们;当启动'分离'程序时,这套连接系统就会轻松解锁,无需使用特别的工具,"OBA工作室的山德•杜因在邮件中告诉每日邮报网.

'The units should (dis)connect without much effort. Though this is part of the design that is still under development.'

"两个独立单元必须能够轻而易举地相连或相离.虽然这一构想仍在研发中."

The idea for the 'break up' home was conceived by Omar Kbiri, co-founder of Maak, who had the revelation while looking for a new home with his girlfriend.

玛克公司的共同创始人奥马尔•柯比里首先提出了"分手"住宅的概念,他和女友打算购置新房,忽得此灵感.

'With the increasing number of divorces each year, our concept is – regrettably – becoming more and more relevant,' said Kbiri, who is also a self-proclaimed PR and pop culture expert.
