In Reply to: "Back against the wall" seating - I'd appreciate your opinions? posted by andyr on March 10, 2012 at 14:33:03:
Since you have a blank sheet of paper, NOW'S the time to consider all your options.
Just my opin, but I've never had the best luck with BTW seating. I prefer being 1/4 or 1/3 into the room. Actually, 'phi', but thats just me. See anything about Cardas and use of the phi ratio.
Be that as it may, you should make more detailed plans for construction of this room other than where you'll sit.
You'll want 2 or MORE exclusive electrical circuits.
a 36" exterior door would be nice, since it is much a better sound insulator than the hollow core interior door you will probably end up with.
I'd float the wall common to the rest of the house. Double row of 2x4 studs, OFFSET to produce a 6" thick wall, into which some sound absorbant material goes.
Another option is double drywall. This is cheap and provides a little more sound insulation.
Yet another option is built-ins. Bookshelves with properly arranged books make for an attractive diffusor. A small alcove for equipment, located with the outlets, may help get the equipment more attractively secured.
If it were only as simple as BTW or NOT?
Too much is never enough
