| dc.description | Front view of low-rise housing, depicting sunken car park and entry area to two units; The Lafayette Park development is a large park and complex of apartments and housing cooperatives just east of downtown Detroit, Michigan. The area is part of the Mies van der Rohe Residential District listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 78-acre urban renewal project was originally called the Gratiot Park Development. Planned by Mies van der Rohe, Ludwig Hilberseimer and Alfred Caldwell it includes a landscaped, 19-acre park with no through traffic, in which these and other low-rise apartment buildings are sited. The apartment buildings of Lafayette Park are classic examples of Mies' International Style, with their simplicity, clean proportions, and cladding of tinted glass and aluminum.
