Nev, sounds like an interesting concept - to incorporate the obs into the house design. I've seen a few pics on the net of observatories integral with the house.
However, and especially if you ever will do any imaging, you would still want to mechanically isolate the pier as much as possible, although I imagine that a solid concrete construction would transmit less vibration than a timber-framed construction.
Is there any way that you could put a pier down into a separate foundation?
