Unless your name is Dr Gregory House, why would you want a domain in a TLD that is unrelated to what you doing or selling? I would guess that search engines as well as potential customers are going to be confused by such a decision.

They never mentioned customers or selling anything so my thought would be a fun domain hack.

In addition to the two cimmanom shared: my.house , club.house , safe.house , public.house , waffle.house , shared.house , play.house

I could easily think of reasons unrelated to houses for wanting a domain like white.house or dog.house.
