Chimney Positioning New Construction - Tips

How do you envision a casing? Depending on the model, it is either a "built-in fireplace kit" that needs to be encased -> for this there are special panels which are then plastered or clad with slips, for example. In the end, only the glass remains visible. Or it is a freestanding wood stove made of a metal that radiates heat in all directions, where nothing is encased.

What exactly do you mean by "heavy Bling-Bling"

Overall, I find this feature a bit overdressed in the context of social villa building.

Have you ever mentally placed it on the other side? So between the planned TV and door? I don’t see any other possibilities.
Do you already have the building permit or have you started?
I see a large 10 x 10 meter house that couldn’t have been planned more boringly.
With the staircase on the other side, not directly at the entrance area, double doors to the living room or dining room, and a shorter path to the kitchen, there would still be a lot possible and plenty of potential here, also an optimal location for the wood stove.

Moving the chimney along with the wood stove into the living room (or the chimney then in the study (?)) would also make sense from my point of view. We have a similar floor plan, and the stove basically only runs when we are in the living room - not at the dining table. So this makes sense independently of the flue pipe issue. Possibly the chimney can be partially hidden in the wall so that it doesn’t appear so bulky.

Sorry, I don’t understand what you want to tell me? This thread is about tips for the positioning of the chimney....

The building permit is already approved, it would certainly be an option to swap the sides but I don't want to make such significant changes to the planning anymore.
