Abstract: Purpose – The development of adaptable and circular buildings has been argued as a means that could enable built properties to withstand numerous societal challenges that could occur in the future. This study intends to reveal the extent in which circularity and adaptability related strategies are being operationalised in a selected sample of case studies in the Netherlands.Design/methodology/approach – A theory-practice oriented approach is followed. Literature review is conducted to define a set of potential strategies for developing circular and adaptable buildings. A selected sample of case studies in the Netherlands will be analysed, using in-depth interviews and archival research as main data sources. Cross-case analysis of the findings will be conducted and examined against the literature. Findings – The initial screening of the cases points out that spatial multifunctionality, use of demountable products and secondary material, and material reuse are common strategies that are carried out to operationalise circular and adaptable strategies. Quality/value – The study has the potential to expand the boundaries of the relevant bodies of knowledge by providing empirical evidence and understanding of the current status of operationalisation of adaptability and circularity related strategies in a sample of Dutch properties. This outcome will contribute to refine and expand theoretically conceptualised frameworks.
