How to design music room?


I am building a garage and adding an "office" over the top end. This is going to be me retreat. The garage space is roughly 32 X 27 and I am adding a second story on one half; appx. 16 X 20? My speakers will be BW N803's. Any ideas on how to, size, etc.?
Thanks

primary goal is the best accoustics, secondary is noise isolation, and overall goal is listening nirvana

Thanks for the site info Nar com, and the others. I am looking for an architect to draw up the plans, I have the basic design in mind. I want a south facing window which in itself will affect resonance, but I don't suppose there's any getting around that, except maybe to add wall coverings and a thick carpet

Thanks to all for advice offered. I did buy Harley's book and now have my room dimension figured to minimize resonant modes. However, that book gives no info re; building materials. Alton Everst has several books that deal with those issues but seem awfully "techno" for my needs. Does anyone know if any of his books offer specific info on the exact materials to use in the room construction? One of his books; "studio....on a budget" discusses the issues but I don't know if he gets right down to the materials issue.
