Every house has such mistakes. Even buildings originally created for a town like the furnishings store in Solitude. Zos doesn't pay attention to detail.

This has been brought up before. ZOS has never done anything about this, or any of the other houses with similar issues.

Furthermore, with each update, they keep releasing more houses with mismatched interiors. This is true for player housing just as it is for any other structure in the game.

There are some houses with really minor issues, like the Redguard homes and the Original Khajiti houses. (The ones from Elsweyr are utter garbage on this front, except the inn room which is mostly fine.) Some Orc homes are fairly OK too, but do tend to have mismatched window placement. As a general rule of thumb, the bigger the house is, the less likely for the interior to match the exterior.

Some issues can be fixed with careful placement of furnishings. For example, I have Domus myself, and have done extensive reworks on the exterior. I've covered some windows, created some new windows, and added a backing for the fireplace on the first floor - there is a window outside where the fireplace is inside. I also created a new fireplace on the second floor, covering the window, since it made zero sense for there to be a window where the chimney for the first floor's fireplace should be.

I also made a faux trap door to the third floor that is obvious from the outside, as well as a faux door to the area under the stairs. There are windows on the exterior where the stair is on the first floor. I pretend this faux door leads to the bathroom of the house, and thus did not build one for it. Which helped a lot, since I wasted all my item slot budget for a bathroom on fixing the issue with the wonky architecture.

In the end, Domus is one of the less egregious homes in the game, it doesn't mean that the devs at ZOS are not at fault here, they totally are. The interior of Domus, and other homes with such issues, should be fixed to match the exterior. But ZOS, just like Bethesda before them, doesn't give a rats ass about such tiny details, so don't hold your breath.

Keep this lesson in mind for the future, and carefully inspect these things before committing your gold. That's about all one can do really.

What becomes more annoying is that almost every superficially symmetrical house turns out not to be as soon as you start placing items.

Ugh this is so utterly maddening. *twitch, twitch*

I put two Orcish platforms (large rectangular platform/floor) clipped together to make a wall upstairs that hides the window where a chimney should be instead. Also makes it a 2 bedroom house which I wanted so it works OK.

Negotiating the outside with the inside? I'm guessing its a split townhouse, you have neighbors on the right side (when looking at it from the front) who are dead or very quiet. You just skip choosing your own door in the lobby and get placed in your side of the building. Hand wave the rest of the architecture away with magic I say, and try to enjoy the rest.

If you're showing off this house, unless they own it too, people are unlikely to call out these inconsistencies and focus on what you did with the place.

I'm afraid this feedback will never be addressed. Perhaps exactly because most of these botched designed house are here to stay, ZoS has little or nothing to say. I'd like to read some kind of acknowledgment, though.

Besides, its not only the houses which has design problems. Some furniture too. I sent a feedback regarding this very obvious design error (image bellow) from Seat of Snow Prince throne (antiquary lead). I asked ZoS, please, to fix it asap.

As you can see, the toon is completely out of the seat. I have about 10 of theses thrones put aside because they look like really bad.

ESO is a amazing game, beautiful, the scale is astonishing, and most of it is a work of art. But those details are really a bummer to me. ZoS nailed it on large scale; but not so much in some specific design details.
