That's the one I went with - it's flat out intoxicating.

Here's the view from my window.
Malmö is the third biggest city in Sweden.
It has 272,634 inhabitants.

Also, adding a few pictures of Turning Torso.
-The highest residential building in Europe (opened on 27 August,2005).
-The tower reaches a height of 190 metres (623 feet) with 54 stories.
-The design uses nine five-story cubes that twist as it rises; the top-most segment is twisted ninety degrees clockwise with respect to the ground floor.
-Along with other Calatrava designs, Turning Torso was featured as a work of art in an exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City from October 2005 to January 2006.
- This is the first twisting skyscraper of its kind in the world, and has already inspired variations such as Infinity Tower in Dubai and Calatrava's own 400 North Lake Shore Drive in Chicago and Torres de Calatrava in Valencia.

Quite a contrast between Peter Rabbit Suburbia and high-tech occupied sculpture. The latter verges on the sublime --though they're both pretty nice.

I was thinking about this thread a while back - fun idea, I thought. And since I now have a view worth capturing, might as well revive the thread.
I live in a high-rise in Elizabeth, NJ.
