Attractive Townhouse Design for Detroit

[A2Mike]

Most of the townhouses built in or near downtown Detroit within the last few years are simply unattractive designs that do not enhance the area and don't inspire very many people to want to live there. Here are two Atlanta designs which I think would be a great improvement. The first is a modestly upscale 1968 rowhouse development which relies upon good proportions and simple but well executed traditional details for an enduring appeal. The second, Regents Park in Buckhead, dates from the early 2000s and is admittedly a more ambitious project, suitable for the kind of central Detroit we hope it will become.
