I'm not sure I ever consciously realized this until I was revisiting my second LOM HD file, but the workshops at Home actually change appearance as you unlock more and more of the facilities:
Initially, the outside of the workshops has a rock outcropping and some decayed trees, while the inside has the eventual entrances to the workshops blocked off. It would appear that what will eventually become the Smithy is being used a storage, with barrels in it, while the musical instruments and golem workshop were most likely dug out and furnished by the Geo student and Professor Bomb (wow, what incredibly generous people in retrospect pfft)
Eventually, the topside of the workshops will look like proper buildings, replacing the rock outcropping and trees!
The outsides of the individual workshop rooms also feel in theme with what they're for, with the Smithy having an anvil on top, the musical instruments one has what looks like music symbols on it (...maybe? I will admit I know next to nothing about musical notation LOL) and the golem workshop has these spiky lightning-rod looking things that brings to mind the creation of Frankenstein's monster, and golem-making is about artificial life-forms!
As for the inside hub, the well will remain, but thanks to very generous NPCs we get these nice stairs as well. The music instrument workshop room is pretty detailed actually, the stair railing at one end reminds me of a musical instrument, and the door itself has notes on it.
