Yeah there isn't anything else like it around. Doesn't look old fashioned and doesn't really represent what they have been building of late.

It looks like a 1960s government building in an Eastern European communist dictatorship.

I like it. 

Modernist architecture but instead of building yet another steel and concrete monstrosity they've used the brick cladding to give it a more homely traditional feel, looking to the future but fitting in easily to the old traditional aspects of the area. 

These guys know what they are doing, they've built a huge variety of modern innovative buildings along with more traditional enhanced styles,

Think of iconic brick buildings like Battersea Power Station (not that far from Fulham), and our own main stand before dissing the idea. 

And if they use the right kind of brick, especially the colour, the results would look fantastic, maybe a brick similar to this one.
