Just trying to bump this thread, really.
I have a change of location coming up in the next 1-4 years, and am seriously considering going the all-in-one-room route.
Of course, there's the artistic intimacy aspect, that should help make better recordings.
But one big consideration would be to cut down on construction costs (for the extra CR) and have more to spend on room treatment and baffle/absorber/flats construction.
At least the control corner part of the room would benefit from more extensive treatment, while the live area would be controlled with mobile elements.
A bit of bleed shouldn't be an issue with good musicians.
I'd rather have a separate bathroom (=live chamber) than a control room.
I'd probably need an iso box/room for the computer and console PSU.
Has anyone got a similar setup, and what challenges did you face?
