Advice on a small home cinema extension
I'd really appreciate some advice. I'm at the planning stages of an extension to the house. After careful negotiation and concessions over walk in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms, I have allowed for a dedicated media room to be at the end of the house as an extension (both sides would be detached), to where I would move my current living room set up (65" 4k Sony A1, Monitor Audio Bronze 5.1.2 system), but I would like to future proof the build to allow for future upgrades to something like a 7.1.4 XTZ system and maybe a projector unless the space is too small.
I am trying to figure out which dimensions to go for, on the understanding that the room should be rectangular rather than square (the architect originally had it as square, but perhaps a stud wall could be built and the area behind it used for AV equipment and storage?). Are Velux windows in a cinema room definitely not a good idea? It would not be multipurpose so would want to block out light.
The current useable internal proposed dimensions are 3.849m length by 2.7m width and it would be a dedicated cinema room for 1 to maximum 4 people (usually two). Is that too small or manageable?
Then I'd like to figure out what I should tell the builders to do by way of acoustic treatment to the walls. Is it as simple as stuffing then with rock wool?!
Thanks very much.

I think I read that you planned to have underfloor heating, but also a thick carpet? I might be wrong but I can’t see that being particularly efficient at heating the room?
