Photographer's Note
This is the second photo of my Crazy House series.
The architect name is Zvi Hecker . He is a famous Israeli architect, now lives in Berlin.
The nickname “Crazy House” is the known name in this Ramat-Gan neighborhood, but the official name is The Spiral apartment house.
I went to visit there again last night. I wanted to take some night shot, but it was very late, and the windows were dark. I couldn’t get much better than a silhouette. So I entered the lobby, which was dark, too. Actually it is a patio, shaped as chimney, top opened, with some balconies to this inner space.
According to mailboxes, there are 8 large apartments there. According the cars in the parking lot, they must be quite expensive.

Very good detailed shot of that great, strange, beautifull, crazy etc. house. Beautiful shapes and nice colors in those mosaics. Mr. Hecker must be a fan of Gaudi – I can see some similarities in general and especially in the lines, details and mosaics...
I think this shot needs quite a lot sharpening in PS – I tried it and the image looked much better. I hope this shot is not the last one in your Crazy Horse series...

Love this crazy house. This is a interesting perpective of the house. It gives us an idea of the size of this building.
Well done again Yitzhak and keep the pics of this house coming...

Weird place! Nice point of view, but I think it is a little out of focus!

Another interesting photo of this strange house!
I like very much the diagonals in curve shape of this photo. It's well balanced also.
I personaly like the soft, blured tones of the photo.
