The Flintstone House, Experimental residential building in Hillsborough, United States.

The Flintstone House features curved walls, domed ceilings, and three bedrooms spread across 2,700 square feet of living space in orange and purple colors.

Architect William Nicholson constructed this residence in 1976 by spraying concrete onto steel frames and inflated balloons, pioneering an innovative building technique.

The property displays steel dinosaur sculptures and cartoon characters in the garden, making it visible to travelers on Interstate 280.

The house structure provides natural insulation, reducing heating and cooling costs by thirty percent compared to conventional buildings.

The master bathroom incorporates natural rocks instead of traditional tiles, while a spiral staircase expands like a sugar cone toward the upper floor.
