A room at the top will be the music studio. About 28m2.

Say about 20 CM thick. So it would be a good idea to soundproof this room a bit, so the neighbours won’t get too bothered by loud sounds made in the studio…<div class="yiv9689018823"><br class="yiv9689018823"></div><div class="yiv9689018823">I’m thinking of a simple intervention, basically placing rockwool on both the left & right side, with plasterboard in front.
