tower reaches a height of 623 feet with 54 stories. The tower’s design uses nine five-story cubes that twists as it rises; the top-most segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor.Each floor basically consists of a rectangular section surrounding the central core, along with a triangular section, which is partially supported by an exterior steel scaffold. The three bottom cubes are intended as office space. Cubes three through nine will house 149 luxury apartments.

MALMO, Sweden (AP) — The Nordics’ tallest skyscraper was officially opened Saturday with prize-winning Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava surveying the view from the 54th floor.With its spectacular 90-degree twist, Turning Torso consists of nine stacked cubes, each turned slightly.

The bottom three cubes will be office space and the top six contain 147 luxury apartments. Many residents, who are expected to move to the rented apartments in November, will have a view overlooking either the flat farmland of Skane, Sweden’s southernmost province, or the Oresund strait and Denmark.

“There was a wish to get something exceptional,” Calatrava said after accepting a prize from local authorities. “I also wanted to deliver something technically unique.”

The HSB housing cooperative that built the skyscraper originally planned condominiums only, but decided to rent the apartments because of the high costs. The most expensive apartment will be rented for about euro3,000 ($3,700) a month.

Turning Torso vs. Led Zeppelin “The Object”
From a mail July 2, 2005

Led Zeppelin made in 1975 an album called “Presence”. The cover shows an object that looks somewhat like Turning Torso. The object is called “The Object”, and it was made in 1000 copies to promote the album. This object sometimes turns up at collector auctions.
If you want to see how the Turning Torso-like object from 1975 looks like, check out:.
“The Object”

From Swedish magazine Residence number 4, 2005
The main article in the Residence magazine number 4 2005 is about Turning Torso. The magazine concludes that Malmö has turned: Now, everyone loves the scandal tower!
“The house can also be seen as a raised finger, saying that it is we in Malmö, and not the capital city of Stockholm, that has built Sweden’s first and only real skyscraper. It is we…” “…that are mentioned together with New York and Tokyo. While the capital only sits and waits for the Slussen to sink down in the water.”
The magazine also tells us that:
Johnny Örbäck, the main force that started the construction of Turning Torso, will live at floor 36 i Turning Torso.
Local celebrity Percy Nilsson will live in one of the largest compartments in Turning Torso, at floor 42.
“Turning Torso is a part of the picture where Malmö is seen as a town where something happens, i.e. in this town, everything has not, as in a lot of other places, already happened.
According to the magazine, furniture that can be turned according to the shape of the room fits best in Turning Torso apartments.
The magazine also tell us about “a reversal of the mental values”: The view from Turning Torso towards the sea and the Öresund bridge is fantastic, but Pia Sandin (marketing manager for Turning Torso) has according to the magazine discovered that she has begun to turn her eyes more and more towards the town of Malmö, to rediscover it again.
