A pair of Singapore buildings are, yet again in the international spotlight.
Appear to be paper-thin
The Gateway is the name given to a pair of 37-storey complex comprising two buildings, Gateway East and Gateway West.
Both towers are built in trapezoidal shapes, causing them to appear "paper-thin" when they are viewed from certain angles.
Now, the buildings have found themselves in the centre of Japanese Twitter's attention.
The image of the buildings were posted by the HEISEI_love_bot Twitter account, which regularly posts quirky, humorous content.
It has since received over 35,700 likes, and 2,500 retweets.

The caption read: "A building that looks like a drawing mistake."

The Gateway is located along Beach Road, across from other famous skyscrapers such as the DUO Tower and Parkview Square (a.k.a the Gotham Building).
Completed in 1990, it was designed by I. M. Pei, the world-famous architect who also designed the Louvre Pyramid in Paris and the OCBC Centre in Singapore.
Cool.
