He's a pretty famous architect. He was instrumental in the Second Chicago School of Architecture, and he totally designed the building Sam lives in. It was on a plaque in the lobby which probably has authentic Mies chairs in it. So, this morning I googled him to see what I could find. Turns out Sam's apartment building is one of his more significant structures--it has a nickname the "glass house apartments" and he has one on the corner of the steel and glass building.
Now, I have always thought Sam's apartment was amazingly cool because it is, but it is also crazy important in the scope of modern architecture. Crazy, huh. Also kind of intimidating, not gonna lie.
You can see a picture of it on the Mies Wikipedia page. It also has its own Wikipedia page. This is them too.

OOOOH.... Fancy. You should "forget" your keys more often if it means you get to hang out there.
Shut up I really didn't have keys.
And yeah, the apartment is super sweet.
