This iron golem farm is built underground with only the top spawning pad visible, this makes it easy to hide away out of sight. I designed it using what I learned from Nim's iron golem farm.
Very nice looking. Since it's flush with the ground you might have to worry about mobs dropping in. Hostile mobs the golems should take care of (although a creeper exploding along the edge would be ugly). Do you have it modified down below so that any animals or mobs that get drawn in are also taken care of?
The only mobs that don't get killed by the lava are witches. Surprisingly the golems don't attack them because they're too busy getting killed by the lava. Those witched just despawn when you move out of the area.
If you turn the doors in your design so that they face the center of each wall when closed (and none 'on' the center block), you only need one 'sky block' in the center of each wall.

Neat!
Good thing you used glass around the edge so the doors are valid.
Just testing.
My combo iron farm/villager trading hall is totally underwater except fro the glass ring which allow the light thru so the doors become houses ...

Awesome suggestion! I just changed the farm on my survival world and can now make the top spawning pad the same size as the bottom one.
