I thought a desert temple might make a good base, so I started messing around with ideas in creative.

The arcane stone next to the research table is intended to be an arcane infuser but with the first two blocks hidden in the wall for symmetry. I cleared out the two stairwells which I don't show, they could be used for other devices or to grow stuff. I put some storage in the level up above. As for personal space such as a bedroom, you could expand out the hidden chest area. Just remember to remove the tnt first. It took me a while to try to set it up. It's not perfect, I actually haven't played Thaumcraft 3 that much so it may not be fully ideal for it. Still, I think it looks cool and I really hope you like it.
