I have spent a lot of time creating and discarding fortress designsHere I will share my hard-earned knowledge.
 
 
A lot of the stuff on this page is fairly obsolete in that I have found more efficient ways of doing things (mostly in the realm of isolated workshops.)  If you leave a request on my talk page, I'll probably tell you the major differences, but it's more fun to play the game for yourself right?  Anyway, it's great to finally be over my Dwarf Fortress addiction :-)
 
 
 
Also, if you have a way of putting a fortress together that you believe to be more efficient than mine, I'd be interested in hearing about it.  So far I haven't seen any other players focusing on efficiency(It's not very much fun; I wouldn't recommend it.  Part of the reason I quit: instead of playing the game, my dwarf fortress sessions often consisted of refining a fortress blueprint.  And then when the execution wasn't up to par I'd have to restart.)
 
 
 
One last thing: Joyous Wilds are totally underrated.  For your next game, I recommend you generate a custom world and modify the parameters to maximize their occurrence.

A butcher's workshop is likely to produce miasma at some point or another.  You should consider walling it off and channeling access through doors to prevent miasma spread.

A butcher's workshop produces miasma with great frequency.  You should consider walling it off and allowing access through doors only to prevent miasma spread.
  
 
There are a bunch more workshops that can benefit from being "lockable".  This will allow you to make sure that a dwarf uses a particular material or decorates a particular item.

I don't recommend making every workshop like this lockable.  Just one or two of each type, so you have the flexibility to micromanage as necessary.

Here is how I implement lockable workshops:

The solution to both of these aberrant workshop classes is the same:

Note that you will have to place hatch covers over the four inner stairways if you want to achieve full isolation.  For the upward stairway, you will have to go to the level above to place the hatch cover.

I implement kennels similarly:
+
Kennels and siege workshops require a 5x5 area, and thus they cannot fit in the standard 3x3 zone:

I don't use siege engines (I prefer underground entrances with adjacent marksdwarf bunkers, to make good use of my [[Fortress Guard]].)  But the plan will obviously work for a siege workshop as well.

NOTE: This plan is somewhat out of date already--I found several ways to modify the upper layers for greater efficiency.  Unfortunately my word processor uses a different tabbing system than this wiki, so I can't copy and paste without having to do a lot of fixing up.  At some point I plan to take screenshots or a [http://mkv25.net/dfma/ map archive].
