I thought MVP had always been a thing in architecture. I know someone with an architecturally designed modular house so areas could be added as and when the need or money was found. The add ons were planned at concept and the building works are in place so that the next stages can be added without disrupting the structure already there. The massive window wall for instance will get moved out to new rear of the house on the pad that is already there, as are the ducts for electrics and the base of the walls. And at present there is a large floor to ceiling window that will become the doorway into the new upstairs bedroom as and when.
When me had the extension done on our last place we had the plumbing and drains etc located under the stairs for a bathroom move that can now be easily done if the new owners want to, we didn’t get round to it.
The discussions I’ve had with architects start with this is what I want, what is the minimum we can do to get it up so we can move forward later.

well that's ambitious, the idea is as old as modernism.
I wonder what architecture context you're referring to, small scale residential ?
