I've been building my modular castles this way since I was a kid. But instead
of simply having the removable room nestled between supports or held down by
anchors, I make the walls of the room uneven on the bottom, with the ceiling of
the room below it (topped with tiles) shaped the same way. So, the
removable room fits onto the larger structure like a puzzle piece snapping into
place. But since there's no actual "peg to hole" contact, the room slips off
on and quite easily.
