In our contemporary society, one out of three marriages ends up in a divorce. A divorce causes financial disadvantages for both parents and affects the well-being of parents and involved children. Assumptions are made that new built and innovative areas seem to contain the highest amount of divorces. Yet these areas do not represent divorcing families. In this graduation project, the building proposes to include divorcing families within the M4H-area in Rotterdam, by creating affordable housing while sustaining them in their well-being. The designed collective spaces and dwellings are based on the necessities of the two types of divorcing families: the primary parent family; the parent where the children live’ and the secondary parent family; the parent where the children visit’. By including these divorcing families, both the parents and the involved children have the possibility to process the divorce in a save, friendly and supporting environment.
