Yah-goo.com --- Turning Torso While I was browsing I came across this interesting building a twisted building from Sweden called Turning Torso, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. It is the second tallest residental building in Europe. It is about 190 meters tall and located in Malmö, Sweden. The whole building is twisted as it goes up, it took about 4 years to complete. This 54 stories tall building was officially opened in August 2005.

The top 2 floors are used for conferences, lower 10 floors are used for functions and office space and in between there are about 147 apartments, each floor is about 400 sq meters. Grand view from the building is not accessible to the public, but can be popssible if the top two floors 53rd or 54th are to be rent for conferences.
