In my first solution I used regular positioning and thought the left-bottom and middle one were of similar shape.

The second time I solved this, I was looking into ways how to mirror this. I wanted to use -webkit-box-reflect but it looks like it can only mirror on the X or the Y axis - not both at the same time. So I resorted to the scale(-1) trick. For this to work, the boxes needed to be duplicated.

Ok, the latest solution was using existing elements in a grid.
