Hello everyone,
Maybe someone can help me.
We would like to create an opening between the kitchen and the dining room.
The planning is still in the early stages, and a first look at the floor plan has been taken.
There, I found the following symbol, which is unfamiliar to me, especially in this combination.
Does anyone know what it means? It concerns the symbol in the lower right corner of the dining room.
Thanks and best regards

This will unfortunately make the opening quite challenging. The beam above the opening will also require supports, meaning there must be wall stubs on both sides of the opening. If I understand correctly, the chimney shown on the plans does not exist, and only the floor and ceiling penetrations for the chimney have been made and used for pipes. These could be enclosed with a drywall construction of the same dimensions as the chimney; the wall stub supporting the beam would not be any wider. Therefore, I do not see any major complication here. However, given the differences between the plan and the as-built situation, I would recommend documenting the actual conditions.

The beam above the passage also requires supports, meaning corresponding short wall sections on both sides of the opening. If I understand correctly, the chimney shown in the plans does not actually exist, and only the floor and ceiling penetrations for its flue were made and used for pipes. These could be enclosed within a drywall structure of the same dimensions as the chimney; the supporting wall stub for the beam would not be any wider. So, I don’t see any real complications here. Considering the differences between the plans and the actual construction, I would recommend documenting the current status. I agree with that.
The implementation is complicated in that the vent pipe runs almost centrally through the wall.
A breakthrough with a steel beam would only be feasible within the width of a door opening.

I agree.
The implementation is complicated in the sense that the ventilation pipe runs roughly through the middle of the wall.
Creating an opening with a steel beam would only be possible the width of a door. That sounds like nonsense, or at most a minor issue for an architect.

Thank you all very much for your help! You have been very helpful to me.

Maybe think "outside the box" for a change and completely redesign everything... convert the former living room into a kitchen/dining area, and turn the former dining room and kitchen into two separate sofa seating areas... possibly merge the former dining room with the kitchen/dining area.
