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 ๐Ÿ˜€

    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" ?

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