NathanialJones:
#1 don't build cubes! squares are okay but cubes are not, ad triangle roofs it'll look much better.

#2 use panes for flat windows, if your making a dome, a curve or a skylight use glass blocks.

# 3 don't use the same material for the walls that you used for the floor.

#4 don't make everything the same room make a arch around the wall in between rooms to make them seprate, but still open.

# 5 the minimum for a house is: kitchen-living room-bedroom-dining room

This is helpful.  I did #3 on my memember world house, doesn't look to good.  But I have I have a 2 story house and the celing on the second floor is made of glass blocks.  I need to redesign my house then, well the walls.

underwater building tips

-fences stacked 2 high will allow you to breath at the bottom of the water so you don't have to go up for air.

-if you stand next to the fence in the air pocket you can see very clearly underwater

-the edges of a protection stone stop the flow of water, so if you go to a flat surface at the bottom of the water you want to build in, dig a hole 6 blocks deep and put a coal ps in there and fill the hole, when you dig down again the water will not enter the ps stone barrier and allow you to make an 11x11 underwater area easily

-respiration enchanted helmets let you breath for a long time under water, aqua affinity enchanted stuff will allow you to work underwater like above water, it's possible to get both in one helmet

you can take a look at examples of underwater fence building at /home ogmolton village if you follow the minecart track that goes through my village to the end and find the pier.
