Design looks great! Looking forward to seeing more about this!
Great new name. Love the design. You fooled me with the curved facia, I now see what the roof is like. Clever, sophisticated design but also conceptually simplistic. Clean lines and uncomplicated spaces. Looking forward to the Details.
Well, if it isn’t my aunt Sally Gee. Yes, the combination of the fairly heavy roof and low above ground profile make it very high wind resistant. The other attribute I hope the earth berm and living roof will provide is a reduced or preferably non-existent need for air conditioning.

You’re also looking forward to plastering it right?
Goes without saying. Clue is in the name.
Would this type of structure be safer than a typical home in a tornado or high winds?
