So, I've finished my new stronghold, the Water Palace.

A view of the western face from outside:

A view of the eastern face from outside:

The corral, right outside on the eastern face:

Coming into the palace from the west:

The overall structure of the palace is that of a four-level suspended walkway over a central pool.

The waterfalls make the top of the palace look quite impressive.

Looking down, the view is great.

In addition to looking cool, the waterfalls are an express route to the bottom, in-ground level, where I have constructed several useful chambers in the walls.

Most of the lighting here is of course natural.

In the eastern wall, under the staircase, is my pantry. Left chest contains pork and grilled pork, right chest contains wheat and bread.

In the western wall is the garden, where I grow reeds and wheat.

In the southern wall is my little apartment, which is where I reside when not out.
Here's the main room:

And the bedroom:

The bathroom, with a toilet, sink, and shower:

The kitchen. Has a crafting table and 10 furnaces for smelting things in large quantities.

And, lastly, the dining room. It has... a table.

Thoughts?
