The high prices and housing shortage are significant problems for the Dutch population. Thus, besides a general housing shortage, there is also a shortage of housing aimed at the needs of Empty Nesters. Homes are not always life-course resistant, and alternative housing in the desired living environment is lacking (van Staaij et al., 2021; real estate market, 2022; Dynamis, AM, & Whooz, 2021). The purpose of this research is to create a design strategy for densifying an existing residential area by creating a dwelling concept that is suitable for the Empty Nesters households as an attempt to stimulate the flow of the housing market for younger families. As such, this thesis aims to investigate and answer the following research question: ‘How can new dwelling concepts for Empty Nesters, be integrated into a densification strategy for postwar neighborhoods, to stimulate flow in the housing market for younger families?’ To answer the main research questions, this study uses an approach that complements what was learned from literature research on Empty Nesters, relocation motives, housing requirements, and user needs with insights from both theory and practice of architectural examples. a clear picture emerged about the target group; what characteristics they differ in, what moving motives they have, what housing profiles this group has with connecting housing preferences and what spatial, functional and social qualities they need. By combining the outcomes of all sub-questions, a design strategy was created that could be used to design housing that is attractive and focused on the Empty Nester, integrated into an existing postwar neighbourhood, in order to stimulate the flow of the housing market. Thus, this strategy and the design created by using this strategy answer the central question of this research.
