Vertical house in Australia bolted to the side of a cliff

Oh and one thing, you have to take care of salt corrosion issue. The saltwater in the air does nasty thing to metal. It's such a hassle. Since it is a glass house, it should be okay. I have no idea if they use metal bars to build the house or not.

I know that, but what I mean is I'm concerned about the house itself. The house is in Victoria, Australia. I think Victoria has long nasty history of cyclone. Can the house handle cyclone winds? Are those windows enough strong to handle those winds?

do you think these professionals are not aware of it before they built it? it's best just to drop it... after all... he's a billionaire and I'm sure he's hired a team of professionals with many years of experiences and I'm sure they've addressed pretty much all of concerns. it's a technological marvel after all in 21st century...

You all crack me up!

NO WAY for me. I am terrified of heights and something like this wouldn't be good for me. I would have anxiety attacks constantly. lol
