My fortresses typically have compact, distinct rooms and/or narrow, neat hallways. I usually don't feel the need to change this.

My fortresses usually end up pretty closed in, but I'm usually not happy with it.

12 (5.6%)

My fortresses typically have sprawling, expansive chambers (walls and specific rooms optional). I am generally happy with this.

46 (21.3%)

My fortresses usually end up with many large, open sections, but I often find myself wishing I could somehow undig stone.

N/A; My fortresses are typically a more-or-less even mix according to my taste, built above ground/in the caverns/at the circus, and/or Mr Frog sucks at making polls.

Evenly-mixed, but I'm cursed and the parts that I want closed-in turn out spacious and the parts I want open end up all claustrophobic.

I have lately been doing a design where I dig a large, central corridor that can be as much as 10 wide and VERY long, either with trade depot right inside, or just outside, then I make a ton of 2-wide corridors going out of this main hall. I'd say my fortresses are definitely tight, and I always have individual rooms for individual purposes. Most rooms, such as for workshops and stockpiles, are 6x6 with double doors.

As for an open, non-room-based design? I've never tried such things, but anymore, my farm plots are all in the same room, instead of in 6 6x6 rooms, so maybe I'm moving in that direction. I used to make my fortresses span several Z-levels, but I think it looks better ęsthetically to keep as much as you can on a single floor, with the advantage of being to see what's going on anywhere pretty easily.
