Are the walls in your diagram already built? If so can they be removed if need be. Whats the bumpout on the 9.2m wall?
Hi DDB the walls are aleredy built and I can not remove them :( the bumpout is a 78cmX24cm wall with water pipes inside. Best Regards

Hi DDB the slide door it has 120cm. Hi john thanks for the tips! I realized for now that it would be no reason to construct a drum booth. So the way that I think to best use my space is to build a rehearsal/recording room.. By the way I need to do a 60 or 70db reduction in the rehearsal/recording room, because I have neighbours above me (residential building) and offices at the left and right sides…I’m reading about Modular Acoustic Booths and I thick that’s the best way in my case (I pay a rent) to get a rehearsal/recording room in a little time, and built reinforcement Walls and Ceilling outside the booth to a better db reduction. Here's my latest idea: Best Regards Hugo Camarinha Ps: Sorry about my Portuguese English :|

Hello, I am not a specialist but I wont think it will be good to put all your mixing stuff in 10,9 m2 ! ... look a bit small and by the way with your solution you loose a lot of place .... just my 2 cents (as they say !) good luck it is really hard work but also great pleasure (when it is finished !)

Hi 10,9m2 is perfect for me, I work with Protools and I just need to have a couple of preamps and dynamics has outboard gear , I do all the rest inside Protools software! Best Regards Hugo Camarinha
