This is just a list of some housing ideas I have. please feel free to leave your own or tweak mine(though there aren't many.
1- The first design I suggest would be a house of cards or house themed to the playing deck.
2-(my favorite) A mirage house. Upon entering your home you would see he house from afar as a house, a tilted mansion. Once arriving closer the house shifts into just a door in the sand. The door is the entrance to the house and only entrance/exit.(or at least house remains with entries/balconies hanging of the frame. Once entering the house it is indeed a house again. Not destroyed on the inside.
-The outside of this house will be preferably a desert accompanied by a small oasis. cactuses dotted every now and then and maybe every now and then a snake or scorpion will crawl by or a dust devil carrying sand. The outer premises do to its lack of verity is supposed to be smaller while the house itself will be huge on the inside, unnaturally so compared to the remains you see when arriving.
