It depends on your climate, what you want to grow, and how long you want to extend the natural growing season.

One of the best designs I saw was from Mother Earth News (which was based on a plan by Mike Oehler), but you have to dig it into the side of a hill. The great thing about his design is that there is a "cold sink" under the walking platform (in front of the raised growing beds). This cold sink allows cold air at night to drop down below the level of the plants and really lengthens the growing season.
