Scene change!

The house Roald lives in is the same house that Roald and Mary grew up in. It's very old, but it had a big renovation in the late 1970s to "modernize" it. When Roald inherited it his tinkering and experiments spilled out from his own room and kind of took over the rest of the house. Technology has the tendency to interact in interesting ways in Wonderland, which is one of Roald's main interests and fields of study, so the house is kind of littered with his experiments and projects.
