I have done this before....

Pick a bedroom in the center of the House as the control room.
Set up your recorders and amps and speakers etc. there.
Buy extra mic cables and run them out under the door to the other bedrooms and living room.

The bathroom works great for accoustic guitars, bright and clear with a little natural echo!

Set the drums up in their own room, run a headphone extention to the drummer. I made a couple of headphone junction boxes, to be able to split off the signal. Here's another tip...

Use an aux send from your mixer to an old tape deck that has a headphone jack, this can serve as a headphone amp in a pinch.

Have fun,

Dom Franco

Well, the internet sucks, what can I say. It came up this time, so "yay".

Assuming you are looking for construction advice, here would be my recommendation.

Put a door on the kitchen facing the hallway between rooms 1 and 3. Stick in a double-pane homemade window between rooms three and rooms 1. Tear down what looks like a wall between rooms 1/2 and 3, either entirely, or by putting a steel column there if thats a structural wall. That will entirely open up the 1/2 room areas enabling you fit a decent size kit, and giving you visual access from room three, which I would guess make a great console room.

Considering the layout, I'd make four the vocal booth, guitar booth, and make five the "machine room", where if you have the equipment to manage your tape decks remotely, such as a BRC unit for Alesis Adats, room 5 is where I'd stick all the recording items you don't need to touch with your hands. Midi synths, gear, anything that can be rack mounted and remote controlled, I'd put there.

Hope that helps. I could help a little more if you measured all the rooms :)
