It could be cool, but given the game world, it would probably have to be a house that stays in one location, but could be made to appear on demand.

With that said, there are plenty of established examples of "conventional" buildings that are clearly designed with magic users in mind.
Perhaps most famously, the Wizard's Tower add-on from TESIV: Oblivion. The Telvanni mushroom towers are another great example!
I'd be against summoning houses, and I hate the mods that add them in the single-player games because they're dumb. Conversely, the more traditional "sorcerer's retreat"? I love them, and would indeed love to see a few magic-themed homes added.

Anything worth doing can be done.

Like I say, you're working with a quarter-century's written and established lore here. Wizards summoning houses out of thin air just doesn't happen in TES.
There is a point I will disagree with suggestions as they amount to nothing more than "Hey, that would be cool" fluff, with no thought about how it might fit into one of gaming's biggest and most respected fantasy universes.
With respect, I view house summoning in the same light as flying mounts. Check my post history to see where I stand on that one.
