How about Niven's fact article "Bigger than Worlds"?  This appeared in
an anthology of his (A Hole in Space? my memory fails me) some time ago
and described a variety of constructed worlds.  The Ringworld, by the way,
was only middle-sized by his reckoning (imagine a Dyson sphere around
a galactic core!).

On a smaller scale, there are A. Gilliland's Rosinante novels, where most
of the action takes place on O'Neill-type space habitats (munditos, in his
terminology).
