‘Āisha (radiya allahu 'anha) said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed us to build mosques in our places of residence, and that they be cleaned and perfumed.’

-Mundhirī said: ‘It was related by Aḥmad and Tirmidhī (who declared it rigorously authentic), and by Abū Dāwūd and ibn Mājah.'

Samra ibn Jandab said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) instructed us to make mosques in our homes, and instructed us to clean them.’

-Narrated by Aḥmad and Tirmidhī, who declared it rigorously authentic. (Al-Targhīb)

So the Prophet (salla Allah alayhi wa sallam) enjoined the maintenance of the cleanliness of mosques both public and private, that is those mosques that are built in houses as a place to offer supererogatory and night prayers, and to worship Allah therein, which is a desired Sunnah according to the scholars.

(From Our Master Muhammad the Messenger of Allah - salla Allah alayhi wa sallam, by Imam Abdullah Sirajuddin.)

The majority of the Muhaddithin have stated that these ahadith refer to masajid built in those areas where the people of one tribe reside ie. small community masajid, saving them the difficulty of travelling long distances to a Jami' masjid for every salah.

Some have indicated towards the possibly that a salah room in a home could also be meant, however that isn't the view of most muhaddithin.

Did the tiny homes of Sahabah

contain a reserved salah-room?
I really doubt it.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
