Of course, I jest.
Since you all appear to be scholars of the musical variety, I thought I'd post this:
I've been heavily - I mean, HEAVILY - researching studios, how they're built, the costs, how to run one etc and I've finally plucked up the courage to break the seal and just go for it. So below I have attached a photo of a very crude floor plan of an industrial office unit I currently have at my disposal. It's 2,000 square feet (give or take) but the block is divided by office rooms (carpeted, mostly thick plasterboard walls with a couple of brick ones etc) I have done 20 odd designs for how I'd layout the studio. I will be using professional builders with over 20 years experience in bespoke studio building, who have said they'll design the layout too at an exuberant cost (which of course I plan on declining the offer).
My question is; if you had this unit what would you put in and where? i.e. where would you put the control room, studio room, live room, the social room, isolation etc etc etc.
I'm basically asking as I have exhausted my ideas over the past few weeks and thought "Why not get a fresh pair of eyes on it!" So I'm doing just that.
Two things you should know:
1. The structure of the rooms cannot be changed; walls built within (to change parallel running walls) or to divide rooms are fine. Anything else is not.
2. Double layered windows put into existing walls are fine (i.e. looking into the studio from control).
So...
What would you do?
