I guess it's ok....something a bit more interesting would be cool but I don't have the brief. If it's supposed to sort of blend in with the commercial buildings then the lean is ok

Well that's a thought .... have built lean to suit a northerly ... along comes one off famous winds then clunk the whole lot falls over.

By building it leaning to the north it will blend in with the trees in a howling southerly :P

We will call the tower 'floppy cock syndrome' , what angle dose the tower dangle in a stiff breeze!
