ᐅ Exposed steel beam in the corner

Hello,

in our new build, we have a corner window with a steel beam.
From the end plate measuring 20cm x 20cm (8 inches x 8 inches), a small piece about 5cm x 5cm (2 inches x 2 inches) extends into the living room.

Until yesterday, I assumed it could be cut off by flame cutting.
However, the metalworker now says that due to the heat, the roller shutter box would also be damaged.

Unfortunately, an angle grinder cannot reach into the corner. I also don’t want to lower the ceiling or something like that.

The end plate of the steel beam is about 2cm (1 inch) thick.

Does anyone have an idea how this corner could be made flush?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Kadir

Holy crap 😀

Have you asked the structural engineer?

It's definitely gone. 😎

Another question, do the windows actually open? It looks very tight for the opposing handles on the other windows to pass by each other.

They are sliding doors, right? At least from the handles, that’s how they look to me.

To me, they look like sliding doors, so that shouldn't be a problem?!

Yes, these are sliding doors.
From a structural standpoint, it is just a corner of the head section of a steel beam.

And you basically consider that to be some kind of decorative trim?
