I am just having fun building...I built one, nice, plain, simple...cleared it and now I am building a less-simple, less plain one...not sure if I will submit any but it's fun to play around with the larger plot size to see what can be done with it.
I also am NOT a fan of having things off balance..I need symmetry and always have had a hard time thinking outside the box...but when it comes to houses in UO...things kinda have to be lopsided to compensate for the lack of visibility on the East and Southeast sides.
My first design is very plain...still not sure what to do with the roof...was thinking arches but those don't work very well so I just left it plain..it looks rather neat at night with the lights shining through the windows!

That's as simple and basic as it can get while still having a TINY bit of outside space to decorate...and quite possibly finding the right dye color to dye some stone walls for additions...
My second design is a work in progress and a little more...or less, depending on your point of view..functional.
This one gives a LOT more outside space for deco but still doesn't take away from having a large indoor space...this is only the first and second floors..I left the ground mostly dirt so that you can play around with it more without having tiles to conflict with deco

Again I am not sure if I will submit any of these designs to the contest but it's fun playing around with it!
