Here are a few of my ideas:
A palace built into a rock spire at the edge of a dramatic mountain range;
beneath it a dense jungle spreads towards a tropical ocean in the
distance.
A space consisting of knowledge areas, information and stored experiences
interlinked by an ever changing semantic network.
An escheresque building set in a large English 18th century style park.
An alien dimension inhabited by abstract beings moving, evolving and
changing according to their own consistent (but alien) laws.
