Ideas for shed to office conversion

Hello,

I am looking to convert a shed in my backyard to an office. I've looked through a few dozen old posts and have some thoughts, but would like more design ideas as well as things to consider in this type of remodel. I would prefer not to use a design firm/GC, but contract out to a carpenter, electrician, etc myself.

Required

  • Replace roof (already have quotes)
  • Add insulation between rafters (suggestions for material?)
  • Good sound/thermal insulation for walls (dual purpose as a music room)
  • Drywall, paint etc.
  • Reframe front wall to replace with single door (or move the door to right side wall)
  • Replace windows to double pane slides (fixed now)
  • Electrical - dimmable lighting, outlets, small window A/C unit
  • Flooring - keep concrete or add epoxy? other options to raise flooring?

Nice to have/can install later

  • Intercom (Alexa Dot?)
  • Small display for home automation/security camera feed
  • Smart door lock

Others?

Thanks!
