I'm boggled by people's reactions. The original proposal was, to me, conventional, inoffensive and boring. I wouldn't complain about it, because it's a solid design, but I'd have forgotten about it immediately. The new one isn't breaking new grounds in architecture and might therefore offend more snobbish tastes, but it looks nice and is hardly conventional in the context of Waterloo Region, or even Southern Ontario.
I will grant that it's a design that would look terrible if executed poorly, but I think that's true of more conventional designs as well.
