Castle Inconsistencies: the inside does not = the outside

[Chronamut 355]

ok so this has bugged me for some time now (sorry for the slew of topics I just had one of those bursts of questions)

 

If we are to look at the kingdoms out there, a LOT of what we see in the interiors of these castles does not seem to match the outside.

 

for one the interiors have too many windows. In the center of twilights castle there are windows all around but looking on the outside there does not seem to be a place that reflects that.

 

In celestias castle there are many many halls with barrel vault ceilings and columns upon columns of either windows or stained glass - also not reflected on the outside of the castle.

 

Cadences castle is harder to tell as it's so square.. this one might actually be ok.

 

The castle of the 2 sisters - the original castle doesn't even match the second one they show, and it's got some inconsistencies with the one shown in the journal of the 2 sisters as well.

as an architect graduate this drives me nuts. If one were to do a 3d rendering of these castles how would they map out the rooms? I'd love to see a layout that shows me "oh ok they are in THIS part of the castle now" instead of just having random rooms and you never know what part of the castle they are in.

 

What do you guys think? Are there architectural plans for these castles or is everything just drawn up when say, a new convenient room is needed?
