It would be interesting to see a concept that did that. As much of a traditionalist as I am, I tend to like contrasting (but sympathetic) materials and designs. Sometimes that sets off and enhances both the old and new portions of the structure. Think of the colonial houses that had various additions over the decades/centuries using different materials. I think this especially works when a low rise receives a high-rise addition. Otherwise you just get a larger version of the original structure (which can work great too in the right circumstances).
