Just about to start on walls.
Going for the large plan Bert and using the space for absorption as needed.

Does anybody see anything glaringly wrong with this cross section drawing for the partition wall?

Just wondering why you have steel framing holding up the wall, but also a wood frame on the other side of the drywall...

Also wondering what the "5mm" rubber is for: is the slab very uneven or something? Is it hard to seal in any other way?
Here's the new plan.
Why is the room not symmetrical? It shows the left soffit as being 258cm wide, and the right soffit as being 289. 31cm is a pretty large difference! You should fix that. Room symmetry is very important. Or is it just that the window is offset from center, and the soffits are symmetrical?

Also, the mix position appears to be a bit too far forward, but you didn't put a dimension on it so it's hard to say for sure. However, your speaker axes are intersecting at the mix position, but they should be intersecting about 20 to 30cm behind your head. Also, you have your speakers in the middle of the soffit baffles, but it is better to have them offset, to avoid excessive lobing.

That's also a very large room, which is great, but did you check the ratio?

It looks like you are aiming for an RFZ design, but I'm not convinced that you have the front section of the sidewalls angled enough to achieve that. Also, you don't need to splay the walls further back than the mix position. You can if you want, but it doesn't help any with creating the RFZ, and only wastes space.

Apart from that it looks OK, but it's only shown in 2D, so it's impossible to say anything about the third dimension.

If ypu look at the picture it seems fairly symmetrical, only what appears a window to me isn't in the middle.

Are the slanted parts real walls or false walls with absorption behind?

And indeed, it would help if you post a view of the rest of the room.
