The trick
Leave the ground-level gap open between the two towers so a car can drive through, and only wall it in above the arch where the roof needs a ledge to sit on.
What you will need
- 19 square tiles
- 4 triangle tiles
Step by step
1. Lay the two towers and the threshold
Put a square down for each tower floor and one more in the gap between them for the gateway floor.
2. Wall the towers up
Stand four squares around each tower floor. The inside wall of each tower is one side of the gate.
3. Cap and point the towers
Lay a square flat on each tower, then lean a triangle on its outer edge for a pointed cap.
4. Close the wall above the arch
Stand four squares in a ring over the gap to make the block above the archway.
5. Raise the peaked roof
Lean two squares together into a peak over the middle, then close each end with a triangle.
