Actually have considered that and drew it out....on another forum told that wouldn't work....so stuck as as possible to right top corner....

Actually, that's still not a corner control room! Its just another copy of a conventional style rectangular control room, turned sideways and scaled.However I am always willing to look at options....so I tried what I think is a modified version of a corner control room:
In what way? It does everything a conventionally shaped control room does, and more. What exactly is it that you need it to do, that you think it does not do? How would you know, if you haven't even tried that layout yet? It is a true and complete control room, and does everything that a control room should do. If designed properly, it can fully meet ITU BS.1116-3 and EBC Tech.3276 specifications. It can provide excellent visibility in all three primary directions. It can be spacious, and house sufficient gear for any need. It provides excellent traffic flow, is highly functional....I'm not interested in a 'proper corner control room'; it doesn't do all I need it to....
Yes, a corner control room would do that. It would optimize both space and visibility. The basic concept can easily be adapted to do both. But you also said that you will be using CCTV as well, so visibility isn0t really much of a problem...I'm trying to maximize visibility as well as space provided by a L-shaped space
So, in other words, you are saying that it is a copy of another studio (control room)! And you have scaled and rotated it to try to fit your space.Actually it isn't a copy of some other studio....or rather control room....it was in a studio designed by Martin Pilchner
Right! That is, indeed, a "corner control room". It shows one of many ways that it can be implemented. You can make it longer, or shorter, narrower, or wider, as needed to fit the available space. You'll notice that it gives you very good visibility in three directions: Out through the front, and also out through both "sides", which are actually nicely angled for that, as well as being nicely angled to provide acosutic control of early reflections.hadn't realized exactly what 'corner control room' was....missed that in previous comment where you diagramed it....just caught on when found this

I thought at least one of those had the control room where, in your latest layouts, you have the live room, with the garage door requiring space for the entrance lobby, as shown in the diagrams in posts 19 and 20.
Now that the garage door has been replaced by a solid wall I would suggest reconsidering having the control room in that original space on the left, up to level with where the room opens out to full width. I would close off the door so that the control room does not have a noise issue with the driveway. That would mean having a single or double door as the window in control room's front wall.
Perhaps try that in a drawing and see what Stuart and Glenn have to say about that layout.
