The Architect Who Built the Flintstone House Explains Its Origin Story. The bright colors and rounded shapes of that house along 280 in Hillsborough on the San Francisco peninsula.
Well, I had this idea of blowing up balloons. I developed a material that was plaster with fiberglass in it. There was this machine that you could spray that on and it would hydrate at the nozzle. So you sprayed (the plaster/fiberglass mix) on these balloons and then let the air out, and you'd have this dome structure. Then I would put the electrical elements, spray it with foam and then put wire and and steel on and then gunite it, like a swimming pool.
