| Sorry to be such a show-off. We had the same concern a while ago and I pressed for the following:
Control Room as LARGE as possible. I expect to see more and more musicians in with the engineer. Large rooms with high ceilings are easier to control acoustically. HVAC system must be designed professionally (quiet&adjustable). Decor is incredibly important IMHO, down to the color of the walls. Lighting as flattering to the dark circles under your eyes as possible. We opted for many sliding glass doors because they can be left open easily to create an acoustically and optically even larger space. Wood flooring. Heavy mass walls to contain low frequencies and to to insultate against outside noise. Conduit EVERYWHERE, you will want it at some point, and make sure it is wide enough to accomodate more wires than you anticipate. Toilet and kitchen within short distance. We are still building this thing, but it looks as if it will fulfill our requirements.
Hope this helps.
