Ice fishermen, What is the Ideal size for an Ice shanty?

I have a portable tent style now it is a two man but I want to build one I can leave on the ice. It has to be able to be dragged out on the ice by hand, I want to be able to stand up in it also. I fish alone mostly. 2 jigging hole access panels in the floor. I want to be able to have a bench I can lay down on with storage underneath for equipment and a small livewell for bait. a small cooking area and a spot for my “buddy heater”. I have a slick idea about building one entirely out of 3″ thick blue board (kinda like stress skin panels) so it will be super light. It will have operating gable vents for safty (Propane fumes) plexi windows two which open for cross ventalation when I am cooking (I am a builder by trade so I have this all figured out) Just need an idea of sizes. A 6×8 footprint is what I was thinking. This will give me a (minus the thickness of the walls) 3’6″x 5’6″ open floor space after the bench and counter are built. Your experience and ideas would be appreciated.
