Immortal all stone house. Would it work?

Would a 400sq ft dome house made of granite and basalt fiber mortar. The granite being a triangular prism-like shape larger on the outside narrower as it goes in to make it stay up on itself dry stacked onto each other 2ft thick. Then covered in slate shingles outside and in. With a main cylindrical pillar in the center with a 4ft diameter that seconds as a central masonry heater for support and utility. Then for the windows they would be Mullioned Windows with stone millions but a bunch of them dozens at least so if broken, only a small bit breaks, and the window will be triple paned. To solve the weight problem with the windows but to still allow for usability they will be on a stone pivot and will be vertical from the ground not going with the dome shape that allows them to rotate 360⁰. The door also works on a stone pivot but is made the same way the walls are just thinner and will also like the windows have to be vertical from the ground not following the hr dome shape. For the floor it will be an alternation of 5 layers of tile, sand, tile, sand, tile, with the walls being mortared to the bedrock so it will act as a bowl keeping it in. Then it should be constructed away from a plate boundary and in a dry place so the center of the Australian outback directly mortared to the bedrock. Then to lessen the effects of weathering then it will have a wall around it taller than the house, made of the same granite slab and slate shingles 2ft thick as well placed 10ft away from the house. This is my design for the longest lasting house possible.
