I prefer a flat structure with projects in the root.

• MyCorp.Core
• MyApp.Domain
• MyApp.Data
• MyApp.UI
• MyApp.Test

Inside of these I have various folders and namespaces. I only create different assemblies for deployable units. Small apps won't even have this amount of separation. IMO this keeps things simple. If I ever decide that code I have needs to be used elsewhere, it's easy enough to break it into an assembly if needed, as long as I've followed good namespacing practices.
