The design itself, with its small windows, is sort of "brutalist" in nature, though with a more "friendly" (non-concrete) skin.
As for a more "funky" design. I'm envisioning something on the main fl. Osborn St. side with some neon lights, similar to Plug-In. Or have MoneyMart move in and hang their bright yellow and black sign in the window.
A restaurant, but not a fast food one with a neon or bright sign.
That building needs presence at street level, something to liven it up visually.
