The fault with the drawing is that the right window should be slanting to the right, but this is a perspective drawing fault, not an illusion. My seven year old draws perspectively incorrect drawings like this all the time! What is the illusion???

If you bend to your left side and view the diagram from that perspective, the windows straighten up. Cool!

So it's not even and perspective illusion anymore, it's a bad drawing and lousy contractor who built the house. i don’t know about the illusion but in this drawing the right window is leaning dramatically more thi the left than the left window.

Lets say you actually have a tall building and you are looking at it from a helicopter, and it looks like the picture. If you actually see two windows that are physically identical *from that perspective* (like the top row windows), then in reality they will be crooked! If you actually go to that room an measure the windows, they have to be crooked - from them to look identical in the perspective view. If the question is only about the top two windows in the drawing and nothing else, then yes, it is an illusion because the visual system cannot ignore the surrounding. But if the question is about actual windows in that house, it is not an illusion. The tenants are actually right. This is neat, but in another sense, this type of illusions are ‘fake’.
