I think this is the winner so far in the structures category.

Like the pyramids and the Bob house idea too (pretty much the same thing as each other) First 20 feet should be assumed lava will cover. Next 30 feet kind of depends, maybe put windows in that can be covered with a few feet of masonry as lava approaches. A tower at the top for access in case of up to 100 foot flows. The great pyramid turns into an underground bomb shelter.

They all need some kind of drop down ramp to raise when the lava comes and put back down again later.

Now just need to build that far underground water system and string up the self raising power poles.
