Interesting: the room that I have in mind for my model railway (in some 
distant future) could have been a studio, if it weren't for the fact 
that it's the "room-on-the-roof" (kamra tal-bejt), and too bloody hot 
for a considerable part of the year.

In fact, this is a consideration when putting anything electric or 
electronic there. We had a computer up there, to serve as a FreeNAS file 
server, and one fine day, it just switched off. Ever since, the power 
supply produces a rather unpleasant smell.

Interestingly enough, that room is exactly the same size as the garage 
(6.0m x 3.4m), but two floors up.
