I mean creative use of materials and design to blend the new in with the old.

I understand where you're coming from. Seems to me this would the exact type of thing this building needs. I think it says they're trying to preserve some of the interior heritage features. Maybe I misread that part.
It's a blend of old and new. I'm happy with it.
