Crazy idea for a studio! Will it work?

Yea, like Building codes. I would suggest, prior to any planning, consult with your local BID(Building Inspection Department). It will prevent wasting time and money by knowing EXACTLY, what is required, where its required, and when. As in PERMITS and INSPECTIONS.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely get the blessing on both the design before construction and the final structure after completion. Might be a bit more hassle, but it's better than heading off issues later.
