His name is Mark Bennett and an image of the Flintstone house can be found here: http://www.buzzfeed.com/minjaeormes/blueprint-of-the-flinstone-house-ohu

Regards, John

I love this post. The idea of filling in the blanks for a fictionalized world is very interesting to me. Some years ago I saw an art exhibit containing detailed blueprints for the Flintstones’ house. I was very cool to see that someone had immersed him/herself in the episodes to such a degree that they could establish precise dimensions for the window in which the woolly mammoth that rinsed the dishes stuck his trunk.

Brilliant!
