If you have $4,600,000.00, you too can have an Architecturally designed "Bringing the outside in" house like the one listed on craigslist in Makapala. http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/reb/3257304870.html
Seriously though: I would think, if you can get the architect to sign off on it, you just need one sheer wall and the other 3 can be framed with headers such as are used for garage door openings with whatever designed boxbeam shears on the sides of the openings. If the garage door sized openings need to 'enclose' the 'house' then removable 2x2 screen door'ish panels could be made easily. Code doesn't say you have to have windows or specifically... doors.
