Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

The word viṣṇu-gṛha is explained as follows: formerly in every brāhmaṇa’s house there was a separate room for keeping the Deity form of Nārāyaṇa [śālagrāma]. This Deity room is known as the viṣṇu-gṛha.

While at home, Śrī Viśvarūpa would generally pass His time worshiping or meditating in the Deity room.
