I was always told that you either stay above the frost or go below, but dont mix. Which sounds like what you will do. Post in ground below frost, floor on floating pad above frost. So walls and floor could rise and fall differently. Can really mess up doors, etc. Maybe take a look at the way a bunker silo is built.

And the four foot of concrete wall would be fire resistant if doing welding inside the completed building. You also would only need to side or line 12 foot of exterior and interior walls. The entire building is built above frost and no worries about rotting wood. Just a consideration
