There aren’t many buildings in the world that look like they've just been twirled about by King Kong. But the 75-story, 495-apartment 1,000-foot-tall Cayan Tower, or the "Twisty Building," as it’s more commonly known, achieves just that. Created by the architects who also made the Burj Khalifa, the design looks sense-defying, but it actually reduces wind pressure on the building by funneling gusts up and into the air. Unfortunately there are only offices and residences inside, so you’ll have to marvel at it from outside...though there is an apartment listed on Airbnb.
