How to design music room?


I am building a garage and adding an "office" over the top end. This is going to be me retreat. The garage space is roughly 32 X 27 and I am adding a second story on one half; appx. 16 X 20? My speakers will be BW N803's. Any ideas on how to, size, etc.?
Thanks

Sit down with the architect and explain all your issues. You will want to use construction materials, which prohibit the transfer sound into the walls, ceiling and subfloor. From my own experience I would have the roof rafters/trusses designed to receive two layers of 5/8 sheet rock. The floor joist/trusses should also be designed to add Dura Rock to the plywood subfloor material. Dura Rock is a cement-based material, which is used to provide a firm level base for ceramic tile, when installed over wood floors and walls. The material comes in 4’X6’ sheets and is joined with fiber tape and adhesives. My ideas are only to give you something to think about. Please use a licensed Architect/Contractor and always get a Building Permit.
