Abstract
This thesis addresses the knowledge gap between Architects and Real Estate Investors that constrains typological innovation in the residential investment market. Its primary contribution is the Development of a Handbook that defines an integrated framework enabling both disciplines to co-create greater value through Research by Design as an iterative process for testing assumptions and aligning spatial and financial decisions. Grounded in Spatial Adequacy and Patient Capital, the framework translates non-monetary spatial qualities into long-term monetary performance and asset stability. The approach is validated through a Swiss urban case study, demonstrating how evolved practice perspectives can support the design of supply-demand-aligned residential typologies in Zurich.
