52 Design Concept

The basic idea for the structural concept is to disconnect the house from the ground underneath.
In the event of an earthquake the ground under the house can slide underneath and forces of the earthquake are not introduced into the house.

In order to make this idea work the house will has to be build up from a rigid foundation structure (else it will get ripped apart) which sits on a foundation slab but is not connected to the slab.
In the event of an earthquake the foundation slab moves with the ground.

The total weight of the house is considerable, on the other hand however, we are not dealing with a 3, 6 or 10 storey building either.
It's a small house, rigid, heavy house but only one storey high.
I like the idea of putting the house on 30 to 40 short, high tensile steel legs, cast into the foundation beams to minimize friction but still have some.

Let it slide?
Base isolation design always has a damping component incorporated.
Damping is the ability absorb energy and to return to it's original position after the shock and I can image the need for damping in most cases.
However thinking out loud in case of house Muschamp, I am wondering why not let the house slide in the event of an earthquake and just slide it back after the earthquake.
May be damping is required; I'm still contemplating on the idea.

My apologies for not being consistent in the use of colours in the images above.
