Kyle: I see what you mean. It's because it's an isometric view, rather than a true 3D view. The top of the building *could* be skewed a bit to show the depth of field. The top of the building is closer to the viewer's eye, so the rectangle should be skewed slightly to compensate.
You're right, Jason, it's an axonometric/isometric projection (all the lines are parallel and angles 120°), but let's not get too scientific.
The shape isn't a mistake. The whole point of projecting isometrically is to represent a 3D object evenly in 2D. In other words, *no* part of the building is closer to the viewers eye. :)

I like it. But I'm afraid to stand in front of the building, feels like it's going to topple over.

Neat though!
