Depends how big this home will be. Some of your interior walls are generally load bearing walls (the ones that run opposite your floor joists). Check with a planning commission in your are for the national building codes.

Sure so long as no interior walls are needed for bearing under the roof. You may be able to accomplish this with trusses. Call a truss manufacturer and explain to him what you are doing. Also your design will have to be approved by your local building authority in order to get a permit for construction. Keep in mind that interior walls in the house do more than divide rooms they aso add strgth to the structure. My suggestion is to hire an engineer to approve your design.

Yes you can. Check around the world and see how homes are made. Even in the jungle can a home build. All you need is a design that will support the weight evenly. Think circle. All you need is a support beam and outer shell.

Sure. As long as the walls and trusses are engineered to accomodate the weight. Remind me not to use your bathroom. LOL
