Trick question. Shakespere is not real.
The new Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, which is about twenty years old, was designed to look as much as possible like the Globe Theatre built in 1599. If you look for images of that theatre you will see what it looked like.
Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, The Globe Theatre and The Blackfriars. He called the Globe Theatre the Wooden "O" in his play Henry V because it was built almost circular with an open courtyard in the middle. The Blackfriars was an indoor theatre, designed very much like theatres today with a thrust stage and seating both on the floor and in galleries.The Globe Theater.
No. He was an actor and playwright, not an architect or carpenter. He helped finance the construction of the Globe but was not the largest contributor, and it is unlikely he had much if anything to do with the actual construction.

The Globe. Shakespeare performed in this theatre and his plays were performed there during its existence between 1599 and 1613.Contrary to popular misconceptions:--Many of Shakespeare's plays did not see their first performance at the Globe, including Henry V, Romeo and Juliet, The Taming of the Shrew, Richard III, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado about Nothing, all written before the Globe was built.--Shakespeare did not own the Globe theatre, although he owned a minor share in it. The majority was owned by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage.--Shakespeare was not in charge of building the Globe Theatre. That was a man called Peter Street.--Shakespeare did not produce any of his plays in the Globe Theatre. In fact, Shakespeare was not in charge of which plays were performed by his theatrical company.

The Globe Theatre was a theatre in which Shakespeare had a share (it was not "his" theatre as it belonged just as much to the other sharers), and was built in 1599. He also acquired in 1608 a share in the Blackfriars Theatre, an indoor theatre which the company used in the winter, which had been adapted as a theatre by Richard Burbage in 1596, but was in fact much much older. The divorce trial of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon took place in the same room in 1529. The structure was originally built as part of a monastery in 1275.

Not much. It was a newer, nicer theatre than the Curtain, but basically the same layout. Shakespeare had a small share in the Globe which probably earned him some extra cash, but that's all. Apparently Shakespeare moved for a while to Southwark to be nearer to work, but he ended up moving back to London after a bit.

The atmosphere inside the Globe Theatre was very like the atmosphere outside the theatre on account of it had no roof. The main difference that the 3000 people inside it made were that it was somewhat hotter and much smellier (these people often had not bathed for months)
The Globe theatre was built in 1599. It was destroyed by fire in 1613, and rebuilt with modern construction techniques in 1997. Although Shakespeare invested in the Globe (as well as the Blackfriars Theatre) he did not build it.
At the Globe Theatre in Shakespeare's day it cost at least tuppence to get a seat. You could get admission for a penny but not a seat. At the Blackfriars indoor theatre the prices were steeper.
