ᐅ Exposed steel beam in the corner

Hello,

in our new build, we have a corner window with a steel beam.
From the end plate measuring 20cm x 20cm (8 inches x 8 inches), a small piece about 5cm x 5cm (2 inches x 2 inches) extends into the living room.

Until yesterday, I assumed it could be cut off by flame cutting.
However, the metalworker now says that due to the heat, the roller shutter box would also be damaged.

Unfortunately, an angle grinder cannot reach into the corner. I also don’t want to lower the ceiling or something like that.

The end plate of the steel beam is about 2cm (1 inch) thick.

Does anyone have an idea how this corner could be made flush?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Kadir

Guys, we’re talking about the very end of a beam here. By the way, at that spot it doesn’t actually carry any load since it has no support. This corner is completely non-functional. It’s not the end of the world.

Just trim it off and let the painter take care of the rest. Very pragmatic.
