Twister

Sculptural rotation

Uniquely located directly next to Copenhagen’s largest beach park, Twister forms a dynamic combination of apartments and leisure in a distinctive setting of both historical and modern architecture. The residential tower is 45 meters high, with 28 flats and 360-degree views. The name Twister refers to the sculptural rotation of the circular building. The twisted shape shimmers spectacularly due to the visual effect created by the double-layered white balustrades. The white, concrete façade is a discrete backdrop to the changing patterns of the hand-welded balustrades. An angular column forms the center of the tower, with large window sections that create openness as well as fulfill the requirements for low energy use. On the ground floor, large glass sections in the lobby area ensure a welcoming atmosphere.
