Nyumba yangu or kwetu, meaning where my family or my people live.

IN ADDITION: Nyumba yangu or nyumbani kwangu, with the meanings given in the first answer.

However, Swahili-speaker tend not to say "my house" or "her house," unless specifically speaking of a building, but as "our home" or "their home":

Nyumbani kwetu, our home

Nyumbani kwenu, your (pl.) home

Nyumbani kwao, their home.

You can leave out the nyumbani and just say kwetu, kwenu,or kwao: Karibuni kwetu (welcome to our house), Amekwenda kwao (he or she's gone where his or her people live). But amekwenda nyumbani (not usually kwao) for someone who's gone home from school or work.
