What would you all do differently? The size is constrained by the building envelope that I have, so I can't go bigger than the 1,740 square feet that I have with maybe some minor tweaks possible (a foot here or there).
Lots of good thoughts here - I'll echo the radiant heat suggestion especially with high ceilings. It is way more comfortable to work when floor is actually radiating heat to you instead of sucking the heat out of you. Can actually keep the air temperature lower and still be comfortable. I also used a small tankless hot water heater and has been going strong for 10+ years.

I am curious what software you used to design the above?
