All brick is only boring if you just slap it on around rectangle windows. You only have to look around Bricktown to see how creative use of brick with stone (or even concrete) accents can make a very unique design.

I don't have major issues with the design they presented. Perhaps the main problem was the set back on the right side in the picture. The part on the corner looks good, but it appears to be set back maybe 20 feet as you go east.
