 This is my current human fort, 48 Urists in Diameter each level requires over 2300 units of marble. I plan to continue adding rings 9 urists out and extend the central tower high into the sky with stacked blisters for Nobles quarters, offices, and dining room. The base will slowly rise to accommodate more dormitories and work areas. As you can probably tell I used Fastdwarf and Liquids, cards on the table it's more of an architecture experiment then it is a serious fortress. I'm trying to figure out how to capitalize on every inch of an above ground fort.

Here's my favorite bedroom layout:

What you see there is a cluster of six sets of 12 bedrooms (only one set is currently furnished). If your pop cap is 200, two of these clusters (that's 12 sets of 12 rooms) should do you nicely since most of the dwarves now marry up and share a room, but you might want to shrink the cluster to 4 sets and have 4 of them just to make sure you have enough. Each set uses the 12 beds, cabinets, and coffers, but only 5 doors. Generally I make roads on the paths between rooms (as you can see, I've done so with the furnished set), and I also usually have more stairs surrounding the cluster for faster access.

I've played around with some variations. The only one I much liked wasn't quite successful in my eyes. I removed the two skinny rooms from the middle of the set and enclosed the cavity with a wall and two doors, making it a small meeting hall. I was hoping the dwarves who lived in that set of rooms would use that meeting hall; instead, most of the dwarves just wandered much further than they did back when I had a central meeting hall, visiting parties popping up in the other dozen or so halls around the fort. But it looked cool.
