"House of Gold" is one of the titles of the Virgin Mary in the Litany of Loreto.  My note on her under this title draws attention to her role as a model of contemplation.  By faith, the soul awakens to the wonder of God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit present in all that is and present in the soul as the temple of God.  The wonder of God transforms the visionary's place into a house of gold.  See the website Inter Mirifica
