Lucien Kroll's la MéMé student residences is a project that involved the future inhabitants in the design and construction. The structural grid is such that columns are seemingly random allowing units to vary in size and configuaration via movable partitions. The facade is also composed of a grid and fitted with various demountable windows and panels of differing dimensions. The residents then worked with Kroll's team to select the pieces that would in the end make up their unit, allowing units to reflect the desires of the dweller and to anticipate changes from future dwellers.
