ant hill

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'accommodation for workers?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'high-rise' is the wordplay.
'high' becomes 'ant' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'rise' becomes 'hill' (I've seen this before).
'ant'+'hill'='ANT-HILL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ant hill that I've seen before include "Termite mound" , "Mound of insects" , "soldiers' home?" , "colony of insects" , "Termite nest" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
