The House was infinite ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)|Our Strange and Wonderful House]]'': ''[[Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel)#Welcome!|Welcome!]]'') and home to many portals to and from other dimensions than [[Universe A (Our Strange and Wonderful House)|the one]] where its original exterior happened to be located.

In many cases, transit from one room to another was achieved through portals internal to the house, rather than more conventionally making one's way through the building.

The gates themselves, although they appeared at first glance to be made of glowing golden metal, were actually made of clear tubing within which luminous insects milled about for an indiscernible purpose.

=== The Anteroom === | |||
The Anteroom appears to be carved inside the trunk of an impossibly huge tree trunk, the wood of the walls smooth and unbroken. Its floor is tiled in a spiral fractal pattern in black and white, and it is furnished with comfortable sitting chairs, sofas and coffee tables, arranged across the pillar of cold white fire in the centre, into which guests may step to get to other parts of the House. This fire is fueled by [[fairy dust]] which falls from the floating chandelier above, whose light does not come from electricity or fire but from a number of small [[Fae|fairies]] sitting on the chandelier.
