This is what kills most "non-standard" homes and buildings - anywhere in the world.

If you build an American-style house in Bavaria it may end up a disaster because nobody around knows the building materials or how to fix it.

It gets even worse when it's entirely custom like this Skywalker style house, where it's a one-off using techniques nobody knows. You need a dedicated maintenance crew for that so they can learn all about it over time.

So something like this could work for a largish company, or a college campus, but as a one-off house it's going to be expensive and eventually abandoned.
