Your home directory is yours: create any structure you want in
it.
If you want a complex application to be shared with other users
on the machine, /opt is for that. Create a subdirectory and proceed.
If you want a separation of OS-installed and local libraries and
binaries, you can use /usr/local -- it should already have
bin/ etc/ games/ include/ lib/ man/ share/ src/
created for you.
There's an optional advanced version of this through the GNU
stow package.
Finally, if you want to delve into the packaging system, you can
create a .deb package for installing and uninstalling your work
cleanly.
