I've managed to build a beautiful big house in Terraria for me and NPCs. Also there is storage area with chests with loot inside in this house.
- How I can protect my house from being destroyed by a meteor?
- Is it good idea to make a horizontal stone wall above house?
- Also, I want to have opportunity to gather meteorite ore after meteor falling. I know that there are issues with bridges in the sky. Because when meteor strikes them, only a small number of meteor blocks are generated 🙁

In an answer* to a related question, it is stated that:
If your house is only large enough for your NPCs, it's quite likely you're already safe. If not, as an alternative to making a skybridge barrier, you might instead make an "attic" full of chests. This will cause the game to look for a different location entirely rather than leave only a thin layer of meteorite, as a skybridge would.
**My understanding is that the rules listed in the linked post were determined by examining the game's code, but it wasn't done by me, so caveat emptor. ;-)*
