My super low rent/barracks housing is simply a 22x5 room with beds along the walls and a row down the middle
I've been experimenting with more apartment style living, lately, not very space efficent or pretty like fractals but neat imho.
The big round mickey mouse-like blob is intened for noble rooms...or something.
For the close ups, these are for the commoner,legendary, did something minor of note caste
Key:
light blue and
red are a reference for the direction of the lava/water because im stupid and cant remember on my own.
darker blue/
red are the lava and water pit.
green is the door
brown/orangeish color are the beds and
purple represents the chair and table or whatever else you wish to put in its place.
Yellow is for the stairs.
The left most image is kinda intended for legendaries, two per room. each with a char/table of their own. Upstairs (middle image) is for the common folk three per room or you can remove the chair/table to add more beds. The far right image is for dwarves of note, they have a three room apartment to theirselves, complete with water and lava (for "cooking"), grates over the water/lava are option depending on how fond you are of these dwarves.
This is my noble rooms, it also doubles well for a farm plot, watering hole, storage room. My vague idea with this is to create an area seperate from the rest of the fortress by airlocks for all the nobles and an unlucky farmer to live, save for the dungeon master, and maybe the philosopher. Here they could live out their lives, and my legendaries would be safe from their
wra-stupidity.
