EDIT2: I actually like the massing of the new one better. All those jigs and jogs on the last rendering looked kinda messy to me. This could be an improvement if those cladding materials are high-quality.

I see it the other way around. I saw the "fancy" design as a lot more harmonious and a building that nestled into its surroundings nicely. This new iteration feels so much more imposing and harsh. It reads more as one or two big masses while the previous one broke everything up.

That being said, for me it really always comes down to material and material quality. If that is done well, then I won't feel so jilted by the design change.
