K'veer is a corkscrew-shaped island, with rooms spiraling up the terrain both inside and out. A garden at the top provided gathering space and views of the D'ni city. Little of the interior spaces have been opened to explorers. Areas still inaccessible include a wedge-shaped kitchen/dining room, a large circular study, a private library, several bedrooms, and a boat dock. The DRC has provided access to other areas, including the chamber where Atrus was held captive by his father, a large ballroom-like room with a wide view of the lake, and the hallway connecting these two rooms. Within the ballroom is a [[Nexus terminal]], allowing visitors to register the location in their KI and access the [[Nexus]] rapid transit system. | K'veer is a corkscrew-shaped island, with rooms spiraling up the terrain both inside and out.

Architecturally, the ballroom and hallway are very different from Atrus's prison chamber. The ballroom uses delicate buttresses and faux columns made from up-facing lamps. The floors are polished stone tile, and the walls are mostly plain, with occasional simple ornamentation. The hallway features bare rock, buttressed by intricate stylized rock formation designs. By contrast, Atrus's prison chamber uses heavy columns around the perimeter of the circular space, with ornate decorations and almost [[w:Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] features. The floor is a much smaller and poorly-maintained stone tile, with a large, decaying mosaic of [[Ri'neref]] in the center of the room.

This room is described in [[The Book of D'ni]] as being one of the oldest rooms in the mansion, located near the base of the island. It is unclear why the room was in such a poor state of repair compared to the rest of the mansion, and why its design is so dramatically different from its surroundings. | ||
