I have to agree with northward on this matter...
One thing is to decrese footsteps sound, that can easily be solved with damping products like Green Glue, Ethofoam etc etc.. even carpet
Creating a studio on the first floor also implies "room in a room" solutions but now you have the problem of:
a) determinate what is the maximum load you can use for the specific building (needs a structural engineer). The building has timber structure so the load is actually low. Forget about using concrete slabs on such a structure. Indeed even a normal floating floor may cause problems if the timber structure is not regularized.
b) clearly your words seems to indicate this building has severe structural problems in terms of noise, meang decoupling the above room with springs/elastometers of very low frequency are necessary for your "typical" studio situation of a death metal band recording at 2 am !
I would stay away from this building to be honest, unless your idea is to have a control room where you can have change of the volume and mix/master at lower levels at night
