Thanks for all the positive feedback. 
Here is yet another house i came up with a while ago. I used it as a home for my blacksmith. I deleted the original templated a while ago because something about the building kept on bugging me. Don’t know what it was though. 
The hearthlings should be able to build the stairs. It worked in Alpha 16 so i guess it should work now. Since i deleted the original template i had to copy paste this building from an older save game.
Just like with the buildings before you will have to add the exterior roof by yourself once the initial template is complete. I also recommend removing the first part of the stairs to avoid any blocked scaffolding.

And special thanks to Avairian. I am glad that my humble houses have inspired you to try more advanced designs on your own. Oh and btw, i don’t think your house looks cramped, i’d call it cozy.
