I have spent a lot of time creating and discarding fortress designs. Here I will share my hard-earned knowledge.
Workshop Structure
A standard fortress workshop floor looks like this:
>><><><>> <WWW<WWW< >WWW>WWW> <WWW<WWW< <><>>><>< <WWW<WWW< >WWW>WWW> <WWW<WWW< >><><><>>
Advantages:
- Excellent mobility. Workshop users have good access to fourteen adjacent workshops (four on their own floor, and five on each of the floors above and below them.)
- Excellent stockpile access. Simply designate stockpiles right on top of the stairway tiles.
- A mixture of up and down stairways prevents deadly ten-story falls.
Things to watch for:
- Workshops also have moderately good access to twelve more workshops that are diagonally adjacent. Although walking diagonally takes just as long as walking in the four cardinal directions, I try to avoid diagonal relationships (e.g. making a fishery diagonally adjacent to a kitchen) for several reasons:
- Since diagonal travel is often the most efficient way to cross the fortress, having regular diagonal trips between two workshops puts extra pressure on a traffic area that's already in high demand.
- There's no convenient stockpile space right between the two workshops.
- Certain items experience wear when dwarves traffic over them. Thus you might not want to use stairway stockpiles for items you suspect to be in this category.
Advanced Workshop Structure
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.
Useful for specifying materials to use:
- Mason
- Mechanic
- Stone Crafter
- Bone Carver
- Leather Works
- Clothier
Useful for specifying items to be decorated:
- Jeweler
- Bone Carver
- Leather Works
- Clothier
The solution to both of these aberrant workshop classes is the same:
>><><><>> <D*D*D*D< >* > *> <D WWW D< <*<WWW<*< <D WWW D< >* > *> <D*D*D*D< >><><><>>
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.
Kennels and siege workshops require a 5x5 area, and thus they cannot fit in the standard 3x3 zone:
>><><><>> < < < > WWWWW > < WWWWW < <>WWWWW>< < WWWWW < > WWWWW > < < < >><><><>>

Notes:
- The Trade Depot is surrounded by drawbridges.
- The areas marked Water Feed may be used in artificial waterfalls that fall through the Meeting Hall levels.
- The areas marked Meeting Hall will be a mixture of zoos, statue gardens, and dining rooms. Levers will also be placed on those levels.
- The areas at the corners of levels -5 through -16 are spaces reserved for workshops that produce mining products. Diagonal movement is just as efficient as cardinal-direction movement in Dwarf Fortress. Most of the ground tiles in the map will have one of my fortress's corners as a closest point.
- Areas marked Bedrooms may also contain jails, hospitals, offices, personal dining rooms, and water feeds.
