Some Input on Staff Facility Building

I just threw together this building, grouping a few staff-facilities under one building, as I sometimes like to do.

But while this looks fine, it also looks a bit bland, so I decided to improvise some kind of awning with glass panels.
However, when I added just the panels, it looked like they were just floating there, so I decided to add some supports, which ended up like the following.

So I've added some wooden panels and such to make the glass look supported, which looks much nicer to the logical brain.
Though, I came up with two ways for supports, one is to use a log arch (as seen in the middle and on the right) and the other to use singular logs (as seen on the far left).

Now, my question to you is: Which way looks nicer? - The logs on the left, which look thinner and more streamlined, or the arches on the right which look sturdier but perhaps a bit more cluttered. - You can ignore where the bottom-ends of the arches jut out over the low walls, as that can still be hidden, it's more about everything above.

Also: What else would you add or change? - Even suggestions for things in front or around (foliage and the like) are welcome, but mostly it's about the building in itself here.
I've only put down the general infrastructure in this general area and now I'm just dressing up the buildings, so the finer details come later.

Thanks for taking a look!
 
Not bad. I think the thinner logs match better, in my opinion. Now, I like to build my staff centers in an "L" shape, and then put a little garden, with flowers and a nice tree (like a palm) or a nice bush (like the, lobster claw, is it?).

Also, maybe put to the side some hay sleeping areas and a wheelbarrow, to look like a hay pile. When we get the new pack, maybe add a rake/shovel/pitchfork

Yea, for an L-shaped setup there isn't much space in this case. It's a spot right between a rock face and path. But there are some "planter"-type spots in front between the paths. - Not sure what I'll put there yet, some bushes and plants I suppose. - I can look into putting some tools and such around the building, yea. Good point, I always forget about thát kind of stuff, even though I've clearly seen it already. - The option-paralysis is strong with this game. 😅
