Hello everyone,
Our floor plan has actually been finalized for quite some time. During the structural calculations, it was noticed that the position of the chimney is unfavorable for the roof structure. It runs directly through the ridge rafters.
I had agreed with the architectural firm to move the chimney half a meter (about 20 inches). However, this morning it was realized that this is not enough and it needs to be shifted another 8 cm (3 inches), because the roofer also needs space for the metal flashing at the ridge (I’m not exactly sure what that means).
As a result, the chimney on the upper floor is now located in the wall between the two children’s bedrooms.
Apart from the fact that the chimney on the ground floor is gradually shifting further to the right, affecting the appearance, are there any disadvantages that might arise from this? For example, noise issues or something similar?
(The wall is planned as an 11.5 cm (4.5 inch) sand-lime brick wall.)

Yes, from the ridge, but not from the roof peak. Otherwise, that would have been my first choice as well.

You could also swap the chimney and the bedroom door on the upper floor. That was the first suggestion from the architectural firm as well. However, then the chimney on the ground floor would have stood just 50cm (20 inches) away from the speaker. The fireplace would also be added there.
That's why I rejected the idea right away.
As I said, it would have been a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire.
