That's the most extreme cantilever I've ever seen. But without any information there's no basis for judging it - for all we know it might have massive steel beams inside going deep into the ground, and could withstand a tornado better than the house behind it.
The Pacific Northwest doesn't really get tornadoes. It's a good thing too. Some dude in KY tried to cultivate redwoods because he thought he could get rich selling legally harvested redwood timber. Was going pretty well for about a decade to decade and a half, until the first high wind storm came through. Wasn't even a full blown tornado. He lost about 40 acres of adolescent redwoods because they don't grow deep roots, they grow wide. That's basically why you don't see them except in a tiny area of Northern California.
Be in a country where this design is not a problem. The amount of posters who think their local knowledge applies worldwide will never cease to amaze me.

Can it sustain a sustained fire due to aircraft collision though ?

Again, yes, but not a bunch of dynamite planted along the inside to intentionally pancake it.

That's pretty obviously european.. we don't have tornadoes.
Also.. Have you ever seen the Space Needle? How do you think that stays up?

Ok so they made an house of concrete. It's going to be so cold and damp, but very strong. But like, a baba yaga house. Why?
Also the windows look like they are on steel frames. That will work well with thermal expansion.
And the roof is taped on?!?!
It's like it was designed by 10yo me.

Many places in the world use concrete as the primary building material.
Again, not an issue in many parts of the world.
It's under construction. Temp solution to prevent rain from entering.
You're being very critical of something you have no knowledge about.

all valid points. but I do wonder how it'll hold up after a decade.
HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 123d
I see no reason why it would fare any worse than this.

Probably an architects own home. You can spot them from afar telling you: I'm not a normal house on purpose! Most are ugly as fuck, too.
The designer probably had a tree house as a kid, end never got over it.

How do you get a construction permit approved for such a thing ?
