Housing and living arrangements have important implications for reconstituted families. The aim of this research was to rephrase research questions on housing and living arrangements in terms of “life spaces”. Qualitative interviews show that reconstituted families integrate social ties and space by coming together and sharing but also sometimes by remaining distinct and competing with each other. In these types of families, there are few spaces where parents and children are together at the same time. At the same time, these situations do not always lead to a breaking off of relations with the ex-step family. Moreover, there are places other than the main residence where “family histories” can be constructed, such as in second homes, even though they can be a divisive place for families.
