Oh no, Another Vocal/iso booth question

Hi. I'm very sorry for bringing this topic up as I know it's been covered before but my case is a little different.

I want to build a soundproof booth to record vocals and also use it for putting guitar amps in it as I live in the top floor apartment in my building. The main reason for building this booth is because the only place for my control room is in m living room which is also an open plan type thing with my kitchen. Now you should see my problem. I can't ask a singer to take a break a minute while my girlfriend is cooking or making a cup of coffee or some shit like that and I can't get a decent guitar sound if the volume is on 1. The walls in my building are shit.

So, obviously the more soundproof the better. I have done a lot of research and if I got this right would say the insulation I should use for my would be Mineral Wool along with some Resilient bars and I should also use Sheet Rock instead of wood as it's supposed to be much better for sound.

If I'm wrong please correct me.

The main thing I need help on is design. Can anyone give me a few pointer?

Thanks
