The other option is to design the continuous footing under the load. In this case you can use Winkler model to assess the forces and the deformation.

You are probably talking about a very light structure. To my knowledge statics is only one part of foundation engineering and though I am not an expert here, I know that the other side of the story is protection of your foundation. So placing a footing on level 0.00 (vegetation)grade is not healthy. Please check out stuff like snow depth, vegetation soils, expansive soils etc.
Since your proposition is completely out of question for a large building, where earthquakes hit better and foundations play a significant role, then I will not attempt to comment on placement of foundation at level 0.00
good luck.
