Hello everyone 
For reasons, I'm made to move on a new apartment that is currently being built and in building my "bedroom / listening room" I'm given some leeway in choosing some of it's properties.
The things I'm allowed to change in this project are:
1) Thickness of walls
2) Positioning of doors & windows (except no door or window can go on the North wall)
3) Building materials
4) Acoustic treatment
And so I wanted to ask professionals on how I should require for it to be built, now that there is still the opportunity for changes.
Below I'll show how the place currently look, and the construction changes introduced by my project:
current state of the place:
My project:
So as you can see, I've given the room a more rectangular shape, the sizes are (H,W,L) 2.7m x 2.86m x 4.75m - room ratio is approximately 1 : 1.06 : 1.76
The window is off-center because I think a centered window might cause problems, right? Although this would leave only 1 corner available for angular bass trap, is that a good tradeoff?
Three of the walls are 30cm, and one is 10cm. That 10cm wall could be made 30cm as well, if you guys tell me the thickness asymmetry is going to create problems.
Also the desk is centered at 1/3 of the room because this is the recommendation I usually hear, but is 1/3 supposed to be the desk position, or my listening position? If the second, the desk would need to move forward still.
Those two things on the walls at the sides of the desk are 16cm acoustic panels.
So this is the situation and my current project, and I could totally use your help in identifying possible problems, things that should be changed, construction material to be used in the walls, material for drapes, type of door etc... anything that can make this better than currently is.
Let me know what do you think
