Florence Fang with The Flintstone House - Hillsborough, California

Past Meets Future

Where the stone age collides with Silicon Valley. An architectural fever dream perched above the 280, home to dinosaurs, aliens, and one remarkable woman.

The Owner

"Some people think I'm crazy. But I think life is too short to live in a boring house."

Florence Fang, Publisher & Bay Area Icon

A Week at Bedrock

Five days, five moods, one unforgettable house

Saturday - The Guardian

Sentinel

The Guardian

The dinosaurs keep watch. Standing sentinel over the 280 freeway, they've seen Silicon Valley transform beneath them. Tech billionaires speed past in Teslas, unaware they're being observed by creatures 65 million years old.

Sunday - The Past

Genesis

The Past

Built in 1976 using the aerodynamic "bubble" technique—spraying shotcrete over giant balloons. Architect William Nicholson created what local zoning boards would later call "a public nuisance." Florence calls it home.

Monday - The Rainbow

Spectrum

The Rainbow

When Florence bought the house, she didn't just paint it—she transformed it. Purple, orange, red: colors that make neighbors file lawsuits and make visitors smile. Every mushroom tells a story.

Tuesday - The Future

Threshold

The Future

Shot on Election Day 2018. While America voted, we filmed Florence among her prehistoric menagerie. Past meets future. Ballots and brontosauruses. Democracy and dinosaurs.

Wednesday - Yabba Dabba Do

Spirit

The Yabba Dabba Do

The final day. Florence shares her philosophy: life should be fun, architecture should make you smile, and every home needs at least one mammoth. Bedrock isn't just a place—it's a state of mind.
