ᐅ Enclosing the Vent Outlet on the Exterior of the House – Suggestions?

Hello everyone,
Right where my ventilation outlet exits the house, I want to build part of the terrace. The terrace will be constructed about 1 meter (3 feet) above ground level, so the ventilation practically comes out underneath the terrace. Originally, it wasn’t planned to have a terrace section there – but now it will be. 🙂 The ventilation exits to the outside are already installed and cannot be changed.
From my point of view, I have two options: I could build a substructure that leaves a free space under the terrace, or I could create a kind of drywall construction and "install" a ventilation duct that extends about 1.5 meters (5 feet) forward and then vents out to the open air.
Do you have any tips on this or perhaps other ideas?
I hope I explained the situation clearly. 🙂 Otherwise, feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Oliver

In my opinion, the design shown in the picture is flawed (I would want to fix it somehow). Whether this also constitutes a defect from a legal standpoint is another matter.
