Spiral House: Miniature Tower of Babel

Constructed between 1984 and 1990, the Spiral House is an apartment complex designed by Zvi Hecker in Ramat Gan, Israel. The design of the building resembles an enlarged staircase that spirals upwards. For construction, Hecker felt free to experiment with different materials. For instance, he preferred to use materials associated with poor neighborhoods such as cheap pink stones often found on the walls of falafel shops. Furthermore, the pieces of mirror curling on the ceilings are among the recurrent elements of Hecker’s architecture.
