That does look really nice.
On the copy and paste thing, I get it. Architects are artists, and they no doubt have designs in their clutch that they're kicking around and ones they're actively applying to projects they're bidding on. Some win the bid, some don't and some win multiple bids. Artists, (and architects are artists), do tend to go through phases of influence and inspiration, so it's not really a surprise that you'd see them with a lot of designs that are similar being pumped out in a short amount of time. And really, I'd call Rhode Partners a "facade architect" where they really focus a lot on their facade detail, rather than the form aspect of architecture. This phenomenon wouldn't be such a problem if we lived in a city with less development happening. They might churn out a few here, and then market their designs elsewhere also, but they're keeping busy enough in Austin that they don't have to.
