We approach spatial reversibility as a systems-based design strategy that enables buildings and sites to respond to social, economic, and environmental change without loss of value. Rather than designing for fixed programmes or lifespans, our research develops design logics based on standardisation, meegroeiwoningen (In English this would be translated to growing-with housing), and design for disassembly, allowing architecture to adapt over time.

​

This research investigates adaptable structural systems with central cores that allow units to be combined or reconfigured, as explored in the Wakkerzeelsebaan project. In parallel, we develop meegroeiwoningen through modular frameworks that support spatial growth and reduction without demolition, tested in projects such as Containers, Wieze and La Era. A third research strand focuses on design for disassembly, as applied in NETTO 0 and in the ZNA Middelheim, where reused structures and reversible connections enable buildings to function as temporary assemblies and future material reservoirs.
