Crossword Genius

Relating to the side of a taller building (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lateral

'relating to the side' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a taller building' is the wordplay.
'building' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'taller'='ataller'
'ataller' is an anagram of 'LATERAL'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lateral that I've seen before include "Sidelong" , "This kind of thinking is unconventional" , "Sort of thinking" , "Sideways, like creative thinking" , "Edgeways" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
