Just tired of boring infill.!

I think the sketch suggests an appropriately porportioned and detailed infill building in the tradition of the Chicago School. Not all buildings need to be foreground buildings screaming "look at me!" It will all come down to the materials and detailing used, something that can't be reasonably interpretted from an early concept sketch. Those decisions have probably not even been made yet, since they are jsut at the zoning stage.
