The torso is actually called "Turning Torso" for rotating torso. It was designed by Spaniard Santiago Calatrava. With a total height of 190 meters, it is considered the third tallest residential building in Europe. In Scandinavia, the torso is the tallest residential building.
It is owned by the Hyresgästernas Sparkasse- och byggnadsförening (HSB), a housing cooperative, located in Västra Hamnen.
It consists of a total of 9 cubes, which is modeled after Calatrava's sculpture "Twisting Torso".

Due to its remarkable architecture, the Turning Torso has won several awards:
so among other things with the

- Emporis Skyscraper Award 2005
- logically he got the "Malmö Stads Stadsbyggnadspris" 2005
- He was a finalist of the International Highrise Award in 2006
- The torso received the "fib Award for Outstanding Concrete Structures" 2006
- In addition, he was awarded the "ECSN Award for Excellence in Concrete" in 2006

Although somehow always in the shadow of the Øresund Bridge, it is architecturally no less significant.
