I thought this was another good exemplar of Flexible architecture by French architects Tectoniques. Maison a Montbernier is "based on a series of of posts and beams forming a generic skeleton of which part has deliberately been left free. In particular, 3 bays are available for future utilisation." The bays are spaced so standard sized components can added between them and the occupants could extend the house easily when required.
Just as easily, I imagine, a new owner could take down the components and build a new house that suited them inside the skeleton.
