APAD 176: Phnom Penh skyscraper

This is the Vattanac Tower in Monivong Boulevard, Phnom Penh. It is, as of this writing, the tallest building in the city. With the tower rising at 188-metre (617 ft), this 39-storey building is one of the few high-rise buildings in Cambodia.

This building will house serviced apartments, retail and office spaces, a rooftop outdoor bar and a parking space. To be honest, the shape is just weird. It looks like a giant standing duck with its protruding beak. On some days, I also think it looks like a giant ski boot.
