Lafayette Park is a midcentury collection of residential buildings designed by Mies van der Rohe. It is a mix of townhomes, courtyard homes and residential towers with the most celebrated buildings being designed by Mies but also including a tower designed by Gunnar Birkerts with the landscape being designed by Ludwig Hilberseimer.
I may be biased since I call this place home, but there are few places in Detroit that shine so beautifully as Lafayette Park in the spring. I also tend to say the same thing when it comes to the other seasons but it is definitely a place worth visiting if you are an architecture buff.
