I think it goes well with Beehive for Parliament

Apparently Wellington is going to get our very own leaning tower. It won't be a mistake like Pisa's tower - where architects didn't factor in the soft ground and built many stories so one side of building leaned quite quickly and continues to do so hundreds of years later.Also won't have bells like Pisa. Wellington is apparently getting a custom designed, intentionally leaning airport control tower.

It will be on an angle leaning into the prevailing wind.

More than 100 comments on stuff site - not many of them positive.
