Faruk Kapidžić designed the Avaz Twist Tower, the headquarters of the newspaper company Dnevni avaz. The infobox lists the owner as avaz-roto press, and the article does not explain how the two entities relate. Construction began in 2006 and finished in 2008.
The tower has 40 floors and is known for its twisted facade. The lead gives its height as 564 feet (172 m), but the infobox lists that figure as the antenna spire and puts the top floor at 466 feet (142 m). The article does not say whether the 172 m includes the spire. It names no structural system or materials.
It stands in the Marijin Dvor neighborhood of Sarajevo and has seven elevators, more than 400 parking spaces and an observation lookout. The article says Schuco named it among the 10 most beautiful buildings in the world in 2009.
