I personally can't stand when people go way out of their way to create an asymmetrical mess and/or try to use every tile on the tileset in the same room: People don't build twisty-straw or zig-zag shaped houses as a rule of thumb, so I just can't find anything aesthetically pleasing about it.


I think Dusty's level is more attractive than anything I can recall seeing on that server currently, btw.
Completely agree.

Most designs behind houses are extremely symmetrical. Not all the rooms are perfect squares or rectangles, always, but there's always an underlying symmetry. There's too much utility involved in a house for anyone to want to add some sort of far fetched balance-through-asymmetry visually stimulating/challenging kind of floor plan.
