TREE STUDIO on 2nd floor - Getting started...

Hello everybody! Thank you all for this wonderful forum! I've recently opened the topic on TREE STUDIO - Starting... considering the plans, but i feel a little bit uncertain about constructing aspects too. :roll: PIC 1: Studio will be built there PIC 2: The beams beneath are aproximately 1m apart PIC 3: The beams again PIC 4: My quick sketch of how would our floor look like. 1.) Is this separating the rooms reasonable? Should I worry about anything since this will not be done on the solid concrete ground but on wooden surface. 2.) I also have a question I'd like to ask here about insulation. I marked three types of insulation, because I'm not certain which would serve the purpose the best. a or b? Plan c will be applied if needed. :) 3.) It is cool to set build the lower floor on my sketch? Just to have a surface to work on. This question is just to stay on the safe side, since I have a lot of studying to do about acoustics and construction and wouldn't like to make mistakes in the beginning stage. Thank you... :D

Hey brother. It looks like your neighbors in Slovenia are far far away from where you are at. I guess noise isn't much of an issue with neighbors? Looking at your diagram on the floor view, are you guys thinking of floating the floor, and if so, how important is it really? How much sound leakage into that hill behind you really matters? Based on the little bit I see here, option C is not an option, it could be one of those, how did you say, capitol mistakes? Option C is a fine drawing of what some folks call a three leaf system. I have also seen it referred to as the demon three leaf or the dreaded three leaf. In any event, it is not much cared for, the 3 leaf, like in option C. So if you lose the floated floor and beef up the studio build floor on the top side, this would be better. Then go underneath the floor, from the bottom, and add dense material pressed up against the wood floor by going in between the joist beams. Then you would insulate the joist cavities and apply your ceiling on to the very bottom of the ceiling/floor joists. Have a look at it here: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html Once at the above link, select "construction" from the left hand menu. Click the "walls and ceilings" tab at the top of the page. Study that, especially the part all the way at the bottom of the page, it's your situation. I realize these types of buildings can literally hold a truck up, but how long can good luck run? Get someone trusted, not Uncle Ed from the feed store either, that knows thier way around buildings and design. They call this person here stateside an engineer, you guys may have a different name. Actually I have a different name for them but it depends on what day of the week it is and how many are grouped up in the same place:)

Hello xSpace! Thank you very much for the link on SAE. It is really my situation. :D Well my purpose with the floor was to separate the rooms so no drum kick and jumping inside one room could not travel to the other... I was thinking that this would be a good thing to do. Any suggestions? I think that the neighbors will really not be the problem, but they are closer than seen on the picture, but on the other hand they are not so close either. :P I think that the problem might be the channel of a mountain torrent which is almost always empty and makes a great acoustic theater boosting every sound that goes through the window as seen on the PIC 5.
