>The footing is equally shit if you don't make it any wider than the walls, your house is still trying to sink.

Its not that you yanks all live in arizona or smth that you have such shitty ground.
Dig a few meters (or whatever stoneage measurments you use for lenght) and surpsise, surspise, youll find more harder ground.
They didnt used McSlab on buildings lasting for half a millenia so it might work again.

Build on stronger foundation and in most cases it will be stronger than McSlab its not rocked science. Above you can finish with wood or brick, even shitt drywall if you want...and if you all that well, you can even put a heavy and quality roof and put those LUXURY EUROPEAN terracota rooftiles every shitty house in Europe has but for some reason you consider it luxury.

>Its not this houses fault you're obsessed with stagnant architecture and afraid of engineering.

Unsonian design is pretention garbage.

This looks promising, I never wanted to do the mudwork, just looked for smth with better thermal properties than stone.
I assume its thermal properties in winter are spectacular, do you know how does it behave in summer?

What a beautiful house, but the foundations are a total eyesore.
