How about moving the wall between the two rooms where you have the partitions drawn, thus shrinking the iso room to 10x14 and giving you a 16x22 main room? Then if you're really ambitious, you can slant the long interior wall of the main room.
If you post this as a .jpg or something, I'll draw some lines to show what I mean.

Well I've never been afraid of removing load bearing walls
Seriously if you're putting a window in it, you'll be doing structural work anyway. I'm not saying I have the best solution, but once you are resigned to structural work, you might as well consider all options. It isn't going to be terribly expensive for such a short span.
Looking at your plans again, either the dimensions are way off, or the plan isn't drawn correctly. Could you clarify that?

I think this matches the dimensions better--is this right?

If you are serious about not wanting to move the wall between rooms, then the best suggestion I can offer is to swivel your mixing position 90 degrees to be on the 12 ft wall with the window. Then you will be firing your monitors down the length of the room.
Once you are in that position, if you don't mind doing a little bit of construction I'd suggest adding a splay in the walls from the front of the mix position back to at least behind where you will be sitting to reduce any flutter caused by the parallel walls. Some of John Sayers wall units would probably be effective on the side walls, and some absorption and bass trapping on the rear wall should help as well.
I don't know what you use for monitor speakers but if they have 8" woofers I'd seriously consider building some soffits for those speakers, as well, to tighten up the bass.
If I get a chance later on I'll try to draw out what I'm thinking of.

You're welcome.
However, you're going to get a much better response if you at least try to put together a design with some of your own legwork, rather than ask others to do all your work for you. The point of this forum is for people to ask questions and share ideas, not really do an entire design from scratch for someone that hasn't done one bit of work themselves. There are professional designers for that, and they charge money for good reason - they aren't amatuers.
And I'm not trying to be a prick, just stating what I consider obvious.

Frederic, what exactly are those yellow things going across from each other in the control room? Mhmm.

Frederics plan is probably cheaper than mine, but this is what I was kinda thinking of:
There is a guy posting his construction progress over in the Construction Forum at www.johnlsayers.com that has soffited his 20/20's and loves the results. I really wish I had the space in my room for soffits for my 20/20's.

OK here's mine. I doubt you want to go this far; this is more of a conversation piece. But hey, I like amateur acoustic design.
Also if you aren't too fussy about isolation, you could replace the window between the rooms with an exterior glass door for easier access.
