Hi to all, this my first post here.... 8) any idea about studio distribution will be welcome,I need one control room,one studio room and a toilet,all measures are in meters and for reference Tascam M700 console is pictured in blue,on the left the triangular form is a 20m2 terrace,to access through a sliding door in the midle of left wall, all windows are also sliding.

thanks john, I will prefer one bigger studio instead of 3 rooms,the control room is ok but the entrance door need to be double and I can't put nothing outside it must be inside also the toiled door is imposible to do from the outside. I will try to draw my idea....
John Sayers
Yeah - that's a nice way to go. here's another :) cheers john

thanks, good but.... I want to respect the windows to have natural light , for the control room I think that is not good idea have the windows in front of the speakers also I need to access to the windows in order to could up and down the blind,for this reason you can see in my first idea a space between the windows and the rooms. here some photos...

Ah yes - I see what you mean - I'd keep the windows too :):) so it looks like your original idea ?? cheers john
jtvrdy
well if my idea is Ok ,any improvement about ?
John Sayers
well Joseph - how much space is there above the drop ceiling - looks like you could have a decent ceiling height when it's removed?? The geometry of your control room needs some work but basically it should be a nice studio. cheers john

I am not sure... in the midle of the 13 m aprox 3.90m(2.40+1.50) and on the extremes 2.90m(2.40+0.50)
John Sayers
Yeah 3.9m is a cool ceiling height. I am assuming you are going to pull the drop ceiling out and start again with all your studio walls going up to full height?? hey Josep - which one is you in the photos :) cheers john
