What are some major architectural designs that would be in spaceships for flighted beings?

I am wondering what are some of the major concerns/designs an intelligent flying species would have in designing a starship? Generally we consider space to be a premium and crew living space is almost an afterthought. I think Creatures with flight might have a lot more trouble with wings that would have to act more like arms since flight would be awkward in zero-g and likely much more dangerous since their bones would likely be hollow as well.

Size of the Ship: I am more interested in medium to larger size ships, but ones without 'Gravity fields'. Known gravity generation only. ie spinning a ship. Maybe start with something like the ISS. And going larger from there. What are things to that would go into the design? I believe that the space station has a lower air pressure? but higher O2 content? Would that make a difference?

I added a picture of a winged/flighted alien from Star Trek the animated series to use as a starting point for the physical design of the alien I'm thinking about.
