That's an interesting idea!
Assumes that land is easily/cheaply available - but I suppose that if you
had a lot of Wikihouses and not much space to put them in, maybe you would
just bolt them all together and get the benefit that way instead.
Also, those L-O-N-G beams would need to be really stiff to avoid the house
bouncing around in the wind as they flex.
Another thought is that the most likely reason for needing down-force is
due to the wind blowing against the side of the structure. Maybe all you
need is some clever aerodynamics to use the wind to generate
down-force...a bunch of formula-one car spoilers on the roof maybe? Or
maybe a bunch of windmills to extract energy from the wind and thereby
reduce it's ability to destroy structures? I think aerodynamics has more
hope of working.
But you still need a foundation of some kind to protect the wood from the
soil...and that's probably gotta be concrete or something like that.
It's about as un-exotic as you could imagine.
