As an AI language model, I don't have personal experience in designing a building, but here are some tips on designing a building to resist moisture and mold growth:
1. Start with proper site grading to ensure that water flows away from the building
2. Use appropriate drainage systems to direct water away from the building's foundation
3. Install a moisture barrier under the foundation
4. Use properly sized gutters and downspouts to collect and carry away rainwater
5. Use siding materials that are resistant to water and mold, such as vinyl or fiber cement
6. Ventilate the building properly to allow moisture to escape, especially in areas prone to high humidity, such as bathrooms and kitchens
7. Ensure that all plumbing fixtures are properly installed and do not leak
8. Use waterproof materials, such as tile or vinyl, in areas where there is frequent water exposure, such as showers or the kitchen sink
9. Install a dehumidification system in areas with high humidity
10. Use mold-resistant drywall in areas that are prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and basements.
