Hello everyone,
we are currently building a single-family house and have decided to install a chimney. We plan to have a fireplace built in our living room. At the moment, the positioning of the chimney and the placement of the fireplace are causing me some concern. As can be seen in the plans, the chimney is positioned in the living room at the corner adjacent to the kitchen. We want to install a panoramic fireplace in the living room. We chose this position for the chimney because it extends down into the basement, allowing the chimney sweep to clean out the ashes via the chimney’s cleaning door in the basement. This way, no ash dust is generated in the living room.
My question is: how is the fireplace connected to the chimney (flue connection)? As shown in the pictures, there is a gap between the fireplace and the chimney in the living room. We would like to close this gap with dry construction panels so that the flue connection to the fireplace is no longer visible. Is this possible? Do you have any other suggestions on where the fireplace and chimney could be better positioned?
We have been offered the following chimney system:
Simo Quadral DS-FB chimney system, outer dimensions 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16 inches) MR18
Desired fireplace:
Three-sided panoramic fireplace (manufacturer not yet known)

Depending on the model, it is either a "built-in fireplace kit" that needs to be clad – there are special panels for this, which can then be plastered or, for example, covered with brick slips or similar. In this case, only the glass remains visible at the end.
Or it is a freestanding wood stove made of metal that radiates heat in all directions, which is not clad at all.

Have you considered placing it on the other side, between the planned TV area and the door? I don’t see any other options.
Have you already obtained the building permit / planning permission or started construction?
I see a large 10 x 10 meter (33 x 33 foot) house, which couldn’t have been planned more boringly.
With the staircase on the other side, not directly at the entrance, double doors to the living room or dining room, and a shorter path to the kitchen, there would still be a lot possible here and much potential, including an optimal position for the wood stove.

Moving the chimney along with the wood stove into the living room (or the chimney then in the study (?)) would also make sense from my point of view. We have a similar floor plan, and the stove is actually only used when we are in the living room – not at the dining table. So this makes sense independently of the flue pipe issue. Perhaps the chimney can be partially concealed within the wall to reduce its bulk.

I see a large 10 x 10 meter (33 x 33 feet) house, which couldn’t have been designed more boringly.
With the staircase on the opposite side, not right at the entrance, double doors leading to the living room or dining area, and a shorter route to the kitchen, there would still be a lot of possibilities and potential here, including an optimal location for the wood stove. The building permit / planning permission has already been approved. Swapping the sides could definitely be an option, but I don’t want to make such major changes to the plan anymore.
