One way to partially do this ,by using an auto generation as far as possible. Naked objects(for complex business software) takes this to the extreme - given a set of domain objects, it creates the rest, including GUI. Than if for example, you want to customize the GUI ,you can.

I think it even makes sense at start to create uncomplete objects, run the mock, as continue. Also, the authors of the framework claim that you work very close to the domain language s you can discuss code with domain experts, so in a sense you're working relatively close to the spec level.

The learning curve is a bit high though, i think it could have been much more successful if it has used GUI tools to design domain objects and maybe a higher level language,
