Hello everyone, first of all, let me briefly introduce myself:
My name is Daniel, and along with my two best friends, we are starting a company early next week that combines music production, event technology, and event management.
There is currently an opportunity that requires some remodeling and therefore your help.
In the basement of the house we live in, there is still a pool, which is operational but has never been used.
Since we are currently looking for a studio, we came up with the idea to convert the pool area into a studio.
The only unused room is the pool room.
We are thinking about a "room in room" concept, where we would build a structure of approximately 5 x 3.5 x 2.5 meters (16 x 11.5 x 8 feet) inside the emptied pool, with stairs leading to a roughly 3 square meter (32 square feet) "anteroom" in front of the studio.
Covering the pool would seem to us a waste of space, as we do not need such a large studio.
The space is sufficient and could be climate controlled using the already existing supply and exhaust air ducts in the ceiling of the room.
On top of this construction, there should be a sort of "chill area" where one can move around with a slightly crouched posture.
Our idea was to consult an interior designer and a carpenter to build and install the framework. All interior finishing work (insulation, carpet) we would handle ourselves.
For electrical installations, of course, we would also hire a professional.
Is this project even feasible? Does anyone have experience with similar projects?
Many thanks in advance for your advice.

There are two entrances: one through the house on the right side, and a direct one through a second door at the back of the house.
Exactly! But nobody wants to discuss the usefulness of this plan here, rather to explore whether it’s feasible and maybe what the costs could be.
Thank you 🙂cool idea (:D

No, I mean inside the pool, if you add an attachment on top – is there a staircase there, and if so, what would it look like? The only thing I can imagine would be a spiral staircase (?) As you mentioned, a staircase is planned at the beginning, since the structure is not supposed to take up the entire length. It will be built ending at the window front at the back, leaving a sort of "forecourt" about 1m (3 feet) long and 3m (10 feet) wide in the front, which then provides space for the "descent."
You could access the roof by a spiral staircase or a regular ladder since it’s only about half a meter (about 20 inches) high.

The pool looks tiny. The "house" inside the house is even smaller, and the door needs to open inward... On top, hobbits could hang out.
Since you don’t want to discuss the purpose of the whole thing:
Okay. Umm... interesting project!

Dadoo8203122 Oct 2016 21:43To explain the "Chill Area":
Something like this would be built on top, and on the visible wall, the lamps would be removed and a screen would be mounted on the wall or a roll-down screen attached to the ceiling.
The roof of the "house" provides the bracket for the projector.
I hope you can understand our vision a bit better now.

That won’t be a staircase but a ladder instead. Alternatively, just use a fireman’s pole... Everything is clear; I just think you need to understand the overall vision for the room. For example, the walls are supposed to be covered with red carpet, and the braces on the double ceiling will be removed. On the remaining support structure, maybe LED panels could be mounted in a "starry sky" pattern.
The size is not an issue; it results in a room about 5 meters (16 feet) long and 3 meters (10 feet) wide. You can’t play soccer in there, but it doesn’t need to fit an orchestra since only electronic music will be created, which usually requires just a computer, 1-2 interfaces, and monitors.
The studio needs to be built in there anyway.
And honestly, doesn’t that have a really cool vibe?
