Framing sanity check?

Hi all,

I currently have a ~750 sq ft 3-car garage with mostly 14 foot ceilings. I'm using part of the garage as my woodworking shop, but I'd also like a smaller dedicated space for electronics work and 3D printing. My plan is to frame out an 8 x 8 feet space in the corner, so I can keep this clean from dust/debris, and also use the remaining 5-1/2-6 feet on top for household storage (seasonal decorations, bulk supplies, homeowner maintenance supplies, etc.), as most of the vertical space is now wasted.

I rendered out my plan for the framing, but I'd love a quick sanity check from people who have more experience with framing, as I've only done a small interior wall prior to this.

Here is the render, with some notes:

• As mentioned, the footprint is 8 x 8 feet, with the interior ceiling being 8 foot tall as well
• The ceiling will be constructed from 2x8 lumber and will have 2 full sheets of 3/4" plywood on top for the storage area
• I'll install a regular 30 x 80" interior door for access into the room
• On the other wall, I want to add a 36 x 48" picture window (or simply a framed glass pane) to let in some natural light. On the exterior wall next to this window rough opening, there's an existing window at the same height.
• The gap below the two rightmost studs next to the window rough opening is where the concrete foundation juts out about 2-1/2", so those two studs will rest on top of the concrete, with the next studs being fastened to them
• I plan on fastening the bottom plates to the concrete floor using 1/4 x 3-1/4" Tapcon concrete anchors
• I won't be needing any electrical in the added walls, as there's a dedicated circuit running to the corner already (the previous owners used it for a freezer, I believe)

Thanks in advance for your insights!
