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)

Moving the chimney along with the wood stove into the living room (or placing the chimney in the study (?)) would make sense in my opinion. We have a similar floor plan, and the stove is really 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 partly hidden within the wall so it doesn’t appear too bulky.
Best regards

How do you imagine the cladding?
Depending on the model, it’s either an “insert stove kit” that needs to be clad – for this there are special panels that can be plastered over or covered with facing bricks or similar materials. Then only the glass panel remains visible.
Or it’s a freestanding wood stove made of metal that radiates heat in all directions, and in that case, no cladding is done. We have not yet fully decided on the type of open fireplace, but if there are insert kits for the stove that require cladding, then it should also be possible to close the gap with those materials, shouldn’t it?

K1300SThe reason we placed the wood stove in the corner is because we want to view the stove from the couch. Your suggestion is not bad, but we plan to place our TV on the 3.65m (12 feet) wall behind the study room.

The building permit / planning permission is already approved. Swapping the sides would certainly be an option, but I prefer not to make such significant changes to the design anymore.Well, then the matter is settled.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you are trying to tell me. This thread is about tips for positioning the chimney...And this is exactly what I mean: for a detached villa, such a thing might fit in several places, but for a semi-detached villa, definitely not at all.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/
