Here's an all glass house -

I'm wondering whether these structures are really stable. Anyone?

I've no experience but as far as I know without a proper foundation it won't be able to stand for a long time period 😀

I'm not sure if Gorilla glass is used. That would shoot the price of the house to Mars.

Apparently the glass house does not have a foundation. Given the height of the house, do you think foundation is necessary? The structure might just stand intact with a larger base.

Yes, foundation is necessary, I guess. Without foundation, it can bear the "extreme wind" ?

Guess it is made of glass fiber.

I think it's better to have opinions from all the civil engineers on CE. Anyone wants to offer a comment, please?
