The Crazy Building, Tel Aviv, Postmodernist residential building on Hayarkon Street, Tel Aviv, Israel.

The Crazy Building is a nine-story residential structure on Hayarkon Street featuring wave-like balconies on its western facade. Its eastern side displays a painted tree fresco, while large pillars support the construction and allow apartments to offer either Mediterranean or city views.

The building was designed by French architect Léon Gaignebet for the Bollag family and built between 1985 and 1989 at 181 HaYarkon Street. It stood empty for several years before becoming a tourist attraction because of its unconventional appearance.

The building's nickname, HaBayit HaMeshuga, is used by residents and passers-by alike. Its architect, Léon Gaignebet, said he drew on the Art Nouveau entrances of the Paris metro by Hector Guimard rather than on Gaudí. The load-bearing pillars inside the apartments are each meant to stand for a civilisation that once existed in this region.

The building sits directly on a busy street and is easy to reach on foot, best seen during the day when you can appreciate its full appearance. The surrounding area has restaurants and shops, making it simple to spend time in the neighborhood.
