Help to find the right sound absorption solution in new studio

I just got a new location for my studio Everything is concrete so there's no need to make it more sound proof. But I need to make some sound absorptions that will make this room as good mixing room as possible.

The challenge is that the room is not that big, and the roof has beams which reduce the ceiling height on some parts of the room. See the picture below.

Here's the measurements:

Length: 5,27 m (17,29 feet)
Width: 4,26 m (13,97 feet)
Height: 2,44 m (8 feet)
Height to beams: 2,1 m (6,88 feet)

One of the sides (length) is drywall with straight window and one door.
Window: 2,35 x 0.,96 m (7,70 x 3,15 feet).
Door: 0,94 x 2,12 m (3,08 x 6,95 feet).

If anyone could help guiding me to how I can make this room work, then I would be grateful. Any other tips is also highly appreciated

Fill the gaps between the beams with attic insulation. Cover with fireproof fabric.
Read the Room Treatment articles at RealTraps and GIK.

That pipe or duct might be possibly be a source of noise, so you will want to wrap it or enclose it.

The height is not to the beams but to the ceiling itself. Actually the room size is a lot better then a lot I work with. Just use a lot of bass traps and cover the early reflection points. More here.
