When I was a kid, I went through an architect phase. Even took a couple of classes (aimed at my age level at the time) at the Frank Lloyd Wright studio.
Then I started playing D&D in high school. Dungeons, castles, inns - I needed maps, I had graph paper and time in Study Hall.
In college, I switched to TTRPGs about superheroes, modern horror and Urban Fantasy. So I needed creepy old houses and villain's lairs. The only reason I don't do that now is because I've switched to system lite games that require fewer maps.
I also at some point started picking up floor plan software, and working with that. It was also a good way to get maps for said modern TTRPGs.
So floorplans and layouts? I'm generally pretty good at figuring out what I need looking from the top down, though I may be a bit generous with routing allowances. Exteriors, I'm pretty decent at, though I do tend to fall into style ruts (I like houses with porches and pitched roofs, and I love me a good Victorian Painted Lady.) My biggest weakness is probably landscaping, because I'm not an outdorsy person at all. I love landscapes - I love looking at them through picture windows. Don't love being outside in them that much. (Too much glare on the pages of my books.)
