How should I move this?

We inherited this gazebo summerhouse thing when we moved in last year.

I would like to move it to a different part of the garden but not sure how.

It looks to be sitting on blocks I don’t think its fixed to a concrete base, and it was probably assembled on site. Would straps underneath and lift it with a teleporter work?

Can you lift at a corner with a push? I'd be worried it might all fall apart when you try to move it, but it might be solid out, would be hard to lift it with straps considering the overhang at the eaves.

I think trying to move it in one piece will break the windows and doors. I would unscrew the roof and remove it. Then carefully disconnect doors and walls from each other. Then re-assemble in the new place.

But whatever approach you take, please take a video and share it here. It has a potential to go viral, especially if you try to move it in one piece.

On the other hand, you may wrap the walls all around in plastic film, it may prevent the glass from moving and breaking?
