Weve got a problem in the tower

Well if youve read my post on my building you know Ive been toying with the idea of adding a tower. Ive gone ahead and fabricated a triangular tower that will be attached to the side of the building. What Ive noticed is that due to the weight of the tower It leans away from the building. To fix this Ive cut slots into the bottom of the triangle addition with the majority of the weight resting on the roof of the building. So far so good, it looks much better now.

Ive also been playing around with different configurations of the triangle and the rectangle shapes. My goal is to create a different looking building than what you normally find. Below are some photos of the problem Ive been dealing with and sketches of the configurations Ive been playing with.




Below are pics of the tower before the slot modifications.
