Warehouse floorplan help

Firstly, thanks to John and the gang for a really great forum. I've been addicted to this place since I first discovered it. I've been working on a design for a little while now and recently started going round in circles.I thought it might be a good time to step out and (hopefully) get some feedback. The building is a standalone brick warehouse in an industrial area. The only annoyance is it has a take away shop (i.e milk bar) in the front corner. Floor is a concrete slab, the height to the lowest point of the roof support beams (edges- A frame type roof) is 4.4 m. It rises maybe another 50-60 cm's in the middle. We'll be either getting existing plans of the place from council soon, or having a draftsman measure it up.Construction will be directly on the slab. The floating floor thing came and went about the time we priced air con. So were doing a double frame on rubber type construction.Not ideal, but we're having some tests done next week to check out flanking transmission via the slab. The biggest concern is keeping noise out of the takeaway shop. We'd like to be able to track a 2 guitars, bass,drums type band live. We've settled on (after much debate) not having a window from control room to the live room. We also want to be able to leave enough usable space to add rooms down the track. First things added would be a machine room in the space between the control room and the east wall and an amp iso (closet) between the 2 iso's on the back wall.Essentially we're trying to build what we can afford now, get up and working, then refine it down the track. So the wall I've hit is placement of the iso's.We'd like a live main room with the smaller iso for a bass cab and bigger iso for guitar cabs or as a secondary deader drum room. Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Any other general comments regarding the overall layout would be great too (i.e. it's way off base!) Thanks again to John, I hope it's ok to use the Smartdraw files that are so obviously his creation.And sorry about the metric measurements! Cheers and thanks.

That looks OK - the control room inner shell shouldn't touch the outer wall - you've done the studio correctly but not thecontrol room around the front window area. Seems a strange decision not to have a window - but each to his own :) Sizes are very good - that's a good size studio. cheers john

Thanks John. I was so concerned with not having 3 leaves at the window area I missed that completely. Would this be the correct way to do it? i.e. having the 2 outer frames meet. For the angled slat walls , would it be better to build square then frame the slats or build in the angles with an inside out wall? Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I'm searching trying to find the answer now. I guess I'm wondering how you would create a reasonably well predicted sealed cavity in a purely angled internal wall. (Does any of that make sense?)And also how you deal with the meeting of an inside out wall and a normal wall (as part of the same wall). I'll keep searching on that one, this is probably the wrong forum for those questions. I may have spoken too soon on having no window . I guess it was just a perceived cost/benefit thing. Your disdain has got me thinking otherwise (again) :wink: thanks mate, Brent

Brent - the inside out wall system is a space saver for people with small rooms - i.e. bedrooms etc. In your case you have good sized rooms so the easiest way is tro build normal walls and froame your inside angled walls off them. Yup - I'd reconsider the window - they are not hard to build and not expensive if you hunt around for the glass. cheers john
