Dear forum members,
I am planning to build a single-family house and would like to have a masonry fireplace installed.
The fireplace will be placed between the living and dining areas. The chimney location is already fixed. The fireplace will be positioned next to the chimney and, depending on whether it is single-sided or double-sided, it will extend further into the room (see pictures).
I am generally okay with a single-sided fireplace, but I am unsure if I would have a good angled view of the glass from the sofa. That’s why I am considering an L-shaped fireplace, which allows a good angled view. This would almost act like a room divider, as it will probably extend about 80cm (31 inches) into the room.
What do you think about these ideas, or what would look better in your opinion?
Thanks!

We designed it like this... Thank you! It looks really nice! Do you have an approximate idea of how much the chimney, the bay window, and the fireplace (just the white structure) extend into the room?
Thank you for the information. I assume the drywall frame for the wooden shelf is about 40 cm (16 inches), and then the fireplace body is another 80 cm (31 inches)? Given the size, it doesn’t look bulky at all, probably because of the U-shaped fireplace. And the fireplace isn’t very wide either. I think it looks very nice.
