The building

The mixed-use tower consists of nine cubes of five floors each. With the intermediate floors between the cubes, the total number of floors comes to 54. The entire stack of cubes twists 90 degrees from bottom to top, creating the impression
of lightness and curiosity.

The solution

The 190 meter (623 ft) tower contains five elevators in the
core of the structure. KONE’s solution included high-speed KONE Alta™ elevators reaching 5 m/s (1000 fpm). The arrangement is designed to adjust to the varying patterns of traffic flow to and from offices, meeting spaces, and residences. One of the elevators is equipped to be available during emergencies and serve as a firefighting elevator. During construction work, the site was served by the special KONE JumpLift™ solution. This solution is unique: as the building rises, so does the elevator. The elevator can therefore be used for
moving equipment and people already during the construction phase.

Santiago Calatrava, the Spanish architect, has found his inspiration in human movement, thus the name Turning Torso.

Turning Torso was awarded both the 2005 Emporis Award for the best new skyscraper, and the MIPIM Prize for the best new international residential development It was obvious that the elevators would become a fundamental part of the success of the project.
