What should be considered when remodeling the attic of a two-family house?

Our duplex is starting construction in November, and we would like to convert our attic and use it as a hobby/storage room. Now the question is how best to proceed. We are currently diligently informing ourselves, and our builder has noted that the wall leading to the neighbors needs to be specifically insulated with cladding, due to the temperature difference between the two attics and the intermediate space between the two apartment buildings. In the roof itself, we want to do insulation between the rafters, over which the vapor barrier is laid. In addition, we plan to install a skylight. Has anyone had experience with this or done it themselves and know what to look out for, etc.?
