Room size for a studio

[silky smoove]

Making all of the walls, not just floor and ceiling, non-parallel could be a good idea.
As usual, I know nothing, sorry.

This can be desirable in certain studio settings but for most folks who are not building a space intended for professional use it can make construction quite a bit more complicated and expensive.

Yeah, playing with nonparalell walls is just begging for more serious acoustic problems, not to mention being an inefficient use of space.

Posting a pic of possible shape/lay out of studio.Modeled it in one of my programs and put some simple texture on it nothing fancy in on other one of my programs.Pad in front is for the shop.Should be pretty close to proportional.Roof peak may or may not be the same since its a bigger building than the original post as with the wall height. All fluid at this point. Rereading book now. Hopefully more info will stick.

Forgot middle wall will be higher.model doesn't show that.

No worries, my first run with Punch Home Design software took me three weeks to figure out how to get the ground floor not be floating above the foundation. Ended up coming with a great design (for our home renovation). A builder friend of mine recommended a local architectural draftsman to do my plans, they were a fraction of the cost of an architect and went through the county without a hitch.
In our area there are a number of Amish companies that build and deliver prefab buildings. My home studio was a 12x16 Amish shed that I had delivered for about 1/2 what it would have cost for me to build it.
Good luck with your project... Always enjoy watching these threads

FYI: My studio/shed has a peaked roof. I ended up adding a loft section which is great storage for guitar cases, lighting, and other lighter gear.

This building/space has gone thru several different designs.

One step forward. Zoning guy said building size will be no problem as long as it’s 10 feet from property line. Also said the permit is 50$ and he will drop it off to the house.

That’s great. I’m guessing you live somewhere somewhat rural to have permitting fees be that low and simple.

Yup real rural. Look out the front window and see a mile of corn or beans field . Back yard has 100 ft deep patch of trees then more corn or beans field. Zoning dude lives prolly a mile down the road I live on. Plus I’ve got 5 acres of trees mostly maple.

A major benefit to this is that your sound isolation needs go WAY down compared to those of us living in cities. Less costs, less complexity, more smiles, haha.

Yup I can make just about as much noise as I want. I’ve Played my bass upstairs relatively loud with my svt and 8 10 cab no complaints. Closest house is about 80 yards away next closest over 100 yards.
But I’m still going to soundproof as much as I can within reason.
