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.
