A simple building test: which building is closer?

Hello everyone!
Usually on my channel I share valuable information about repair and construction, but today's recording is very atypical for me - this is a test for construction ingenuity and observation.

Remember, a couple of years ago, a picture with a dress was walking on the Internet, the color of which people could not determine?

To some, the dress seemed yellow, to others - blue.

Against this background, some "British scientists" even emerged who argued that those who see yellow have a developed left hemisphere, and those who see blue have their right hemisphere.

Who does not remember, this picture

But today I offer you to answer a simple construction question:

Which of the two houses in the photo below is closer to the subject?

At first, it seems to most that the right (2) building is closer - it is better illuminated by the sun, has bright ledges, etc.

But if you look at the left house (1), then it seems as if the left building (1) is closer: its dark ledges clearly stand out against the background of the bright house (2).

And at the level of 2-3 floors on the right building, the air conditioner is half-closed, which is generally confusing.

How would you answer?

I will also publish the correct answer there.
