Ahira's Hangar

I was thinking about this last night (another long, boring night watching the water with a rifle over my shoulder), and the world that most caught my attention was the one with the giant house. I know I've seen a similar world/universe mentioned before, but I can't remember the author. Any clues?

What about the other worlds? Are there any references that anybody knows of? ________________

It sounds like that particular world might have been based on Stoddard's The High House. Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell
