Yeah, except the light source is mostly perpendicular to the building's
facade.

The boring sadly gray towers are bad. Replace their sad color with some
natural colors (one of the earth shades). Use also golden mirror
fassades, or brown glass, maybe even olive-tinted glass.
I also don't like that white block. Use sand color instead. Remember,
your space travelers need to feel comfortable for a long, long time.
Also, consider to use the roofs for plants, too, as they provide oxygen
and make feeling good.
Additional house ideas could come, when browsing the Internet for
architecture.

Oops. I meant parallel, I guess. But I checked again and found out I was
wrong, and there is a lot of light reflecting directly off the building.
But I am going to ignore the problem for artistic reasons. :)

I'm not keen on changing the buildings I already have. Though I did
consider balcony gardens on the white oval buildings.

I suppose buildings in such an environment need to be functional in the
first place, but also need to be pleasing to the eye. Sven has a point
about the colours and you might consider some pastel greens and blues
instead of drab chocolates or featureless whites. Reflectivity of the
curtain walls may give a sense of space but be also painful to the eyes,
so be careful with the amount of reflection. Functionality of the
buildings reduces the number of "types" you might want to use, excluding
really experimental forms.
Is the "packing" of the buildings here typical? I would provide more
space in-between. You do not want people to feel claustrophobic.

In the colony ship itself, the 4x4 building blocks are surrounded by
parkland on all four sides.

Yes, good idea about park space around the buildings. Space between
people is important.
I live in Jamaica, and here in Kingston are areas with dense building
structures with no space in between, and areas with wide space in
between. There is a lot of violence and aggression in those tightly
built slum areas, while life is relaxed and enjoyable in those other
areas with plenty space.
Parks are nice, but don't forget some playgrounds for children, some
small forests, small lakes or creeks for fishing or observation or
romance, and some emissionless transportation systems. :-)
Golf places, and such.
I really like your ship idea!

Golf would be really interesting in a rotating environment. (Technically, the
Earth's rotation does affect golf on Earth, but the effect is too small to
notice. The effect is noticeable to a long-range sniper, however.)

One thing I am not sure about is if the air within the cylinder rotates
at the same speed as the buildings and people.

Mostly, the air must rotate at the same speed as the whole abitacle.
There is some slight convection, and there must be some devices causing
artificial winds just so that air don't become stale.
