You're not under the recommended volume. Your volume is 132 m3 and the
recommended minium (according to ModeCalc) is 70 m3.

And a ceiling at 4,2m (13 ft) high? Just keep it? I would like to lower it a bit to reduce the heating costs but not if it has a bad effect on the acoustics.
Maybe lower it a bit but I see a high ceiling as a feature. If you do lower it
you can put a lot of absorption up there for bass trapping (which should also
lower your heating costs).

Your length is very close to twice your height and the effect of that can be clearly
seen in ModeCalc. But you have to be careful if you lower your ceiling that you
don't make the height the same as the width. Something around 3.3m looks pretty
good.
