This is an entry for Fortnightly Topic Challenge #44: Introduce a new grid deduction genre to the community
I had an idea for what I think is a new grid deduction puzzle which has some aspects of Statue Park and some from Skyscrapers, so Office Park seems a good temporary name. It may well have appeared before, but I don't recall ever seeing anything like it. The closest I can find on PSE is a 3-D Statue Park by jafe. This one isn't too hard, befitting an introduction.
Like Statue Park, there is a set of shapes to place on a grid, but these shapes are three-dimensional polycubes...see the link for pictures of the 8 tetracubes (4 cubes, of course). Blocks must be placed without cantilevers, so there cannot be "air" underneath a hanging cube. Blocks must be placed so that no two blocks are touching, not even diagonally, and such that the empty squares form one orthogonally connected region.
Clues are given in a manner similar to Skyscrapers, where a number outside of the grid indicates the number of blocks that can be seen when looking along the adjacent row/column; the usual rules of impaired vision from Skyscrapers apply. Note that seeing two different levels of the same block only counts once.
For this puzzle, the shapes to be placed are the 7 "free" tetracubes, that is the ones unique up to reflection and rotation. More details on the pieces, including possible layouts, are given below. I hope you enjoy!
