Nice work Ilka!!

Very nice to see the assembly process. Are there any concerns as to the longevity of the taped seams? That's a lot of tape being depended on for air tightness for, possibly, decades? I'm curious what sort of long term reliability studies are done on these.

Very interesting! How are the walls fixed to the floor if they are sealed on both sides?
