This concept house can save unnecessary unpleasantness if a co-habiting couple decide to go their separate ways.

Every item in the house would be designed to function either as a whole or as 2 separate halves. For example the sofa could be unzipped to create 2 chairs, the toaster could be unhooked to create 2 toasters that can cook only 1 slice at a time, and so on. If an item is deemed "unsplittable", then there would be some built in redundacy, just in case. For instance, the record player would have 2 turntables.

Even the house itself could be detached, or semi-detached as it would become.

       Record player? Turntables? Sheesh. No wonder you have marital problems.

       A his-n-her pair of curtains?

       Why not just have the government issue everyone half of a double-wide trailer. Then if they break up, they just move off the lot...   

       Either way, the divorce is still going to be messy.   

       "Hey! you stole my half of the toaster, give it back!"   

       "Not until you stop sleeping on my half of the couch!"
