Building up. Making levels/storeys of new space similar to planes.

The idea I have is the concept of making use of space in a certain tile allotment. So on a lower level, you could have chests for example and on a higher level, you could have structures.

The idea could also be applied to boats for more practical application. On a lower level of a boat, there could be a small base, your crock, your fridge, your furnace, and on the upper deck, it would be dedicated to sailing because anyone who has taken a ship for a ride in this game knows how crowded one can become.

Having this in game could also allow for an answer to hamlet houses without truly destroying the essence of the game for themselves. It would allow for a great amount of customization. If load bearing walls are too civilized, even pillars could be used as shown below which is just a crude erasing of the walls to demonstrate my point.

And upon entering, the upper layer could become transparent

All these suggestions stem from my desire of a dst version of city planning and this is probably the best I can come up with. 
I'm no black belt at designing but these are some primitive examples I have shown but if klei decides to take the concept, they could probably do wonders with it.

I am, and always will be a sucker for some form of elevation being added to DST. I really like your idea!

 

Spoiler

Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, perhaps this could be for a expansion in the future similar to RoT that adds elevation? As much as I would love this, a lot of the game would have to be reprogrammed. The game code assumes the player is always at a Y position of 0, and thus so much stuff would have to change, so I'm not sure this could be added during RoT. But hey thats even better! Can you imagine a whole expansion dedicated to adding elevation? Mountainous biomes... That would be such a wonderful expansion.

I really like the boat idea, its almost impossible to fit everything u need on them without excess planning. What about a boat upgrade that adds a hull and upper level to the boat and also increases it's hp? maybe have the hull flood like sw if theres a leak.

There was a roof idea in old post too! Great ideas. But for boats wouldn't it look like a burger? It's only would look nice in square boats.

they have to be round because they cant turn tho

guess if we want more space we'll have to endure sailing in a wood borger
