Escher-inspired architecture?

somehow am just so captivated by e Robertson Walk building, particularly e view of e rooftops when lit up at night - there is just something so delightfully magical about it =)

first spotted it one night while travelling along Clemenceau Ave across e Singapore River towards Orchard. second time was from e top floor of Mandarin Hotel along Orchard, also at night. what came to mind was Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) - e roof design & e shapes of e windows remind me of e buildings in Escher's works like Concave and Convex & Belvedere, & e overall building brings to mind e building in Print Gallery.

for some reason e architecture firm behind this project doesn't include in its online portfolio an aerial view of this development taken at night, which is such a pity. plus I can't find any picture to describe e view that so fascinated me =|
