This paper presents a voxel-based design-to-construction framework for reconfigurable timber light-frame systems, advancing circular construction through an integrated digital and robotic workflow. Voxels are introduced as information-rich data carriers encoding structural, tectonic, and assembly logic, enabling control and lifecycle management of timber systems composed of linear elements. A multi-resolution voxel strategy, coupled with stress- and form-driven criteria, enables localised material distribution and structural differentiation. These data are translated into a modular kit-of-parts with reversible connections, supporting assembly, disassembly, and reconfiguration through graph-based planning and database-supported material tracking. The approach is validated through the ReconWood Demonstrator, a full-scale prototype integrating computational design, robotic fabrication, and cyber–physical assembly. Results demonstrate structural performance, construction feasibility and reversible tectonic principles. Reuse potential is computationally simulated while physical validation remains part of future work. The study establishes a reproducible method for Design for Reconfigurability, contributing to circular timber construction and data-driven material intelligence.
