I'm currently designing a keep for my players to explore. It will be a ruined keep, taken over by an evil cult. But to start off the design, I am looking at how it would have been designed in its prime. Here are some rooms I've thought of when creating the layout.

Military function

Armory
Smithy
Fletcher
Training room
Lookout posts
Infirmary/Hospital wing
Gatehouse
Barbican
Place of Arms
Commander quarters
Guard bunks

Every day operation

Great hall (mess hall)
Steward’s Office
Clerks/Tax assessors/Scribes Office
Kitchen
Distillery
Scullery
Larder/Storeroom/Cellar/Ice House
Servant quarters
Bathroom
Well/Cistern
Dovecote
Stables
Kennels
Courtyard
Gardens

Political function

Hall of Justice
Dungeon/Prison/Oubliette/Tower
Throne Room
Vault/Treasury

Noble quarters

Drawing Room
Bower
Rooms for the Lord/Lady
Formal sitting room
Informal sitting room
Private study
Personal library
Private dining room

Research

Library
Alchemy lab
Solarium
Wizards quarters

Religious

Temple/Church
Clergy quarters

Can you think of some more?
