While I typically don't get involved in public design suggestions/improvements, I want to let everyone know that with the next server update in a couple weeks you will be able to 'renovate' your building interior. Which means if your building doesn't have a floor plan you like, for half the undiscounted cost of a building deed for that building type, you'll be able to choose a different floorplan for it. The reason I mention this now is because, if you do this, you *will lose* all interior door improvements - because not only are you gutting everything in your house, but the doors are going to be different in the new floorplan. So stop/don't make interior door improvements on your current floor plan if you don't like it and think you'll be changing it.
Also, if you would like to see a new floorplan for a building type, download the just-updated Thay PW Base Module and Design Guidelines zip file. In addition to providing new and even better designed areas as examples that Thay PW builders should strive to emulate, it now also has a new document in it explaining how to create your own building floorplan. Once its submitted it to me and approved (there's really not much to these areas, so this hopefully won't be much of an issue), you'll be able to select it in-game once I've included it in the gameworld. Note that providing a floor plan is a one-time-per-player offer only, because these floorplans take up space in the module (as well as a little time from me to implement), so I can't be putting in a new floor plan for each PC you have.
All this information will be in the upcoming Player Owned Building feature thread and in-game guide to be posted with the next server update.
