How to best blind a thick drain pipe? Any suggestions?

Hi,
we are happy with our house plan, but there is a small hitch: In the guest WC, a thick drain pipe comes out of the ceiling. We have to box it in. It basically runs under the ceiling into the wall. That is about 1m. Then a box will be built around it with drywall and the whole thing will be plastered.

Our site manager said we should put a few spotlights in from below, so it looks like it is supposed to be like that. Now I am considering possibly "decorating" the box with some kind of stucco ornamentation. But I’m not sure if there are such wide decorations. The box is surely at least 20cm high. Whether it will look better that way is also still the question.

Has anyone done or seen something like this before? How else can it be elegantly concealed?

Hello,

Has anyone ever done or seen something like this? How else can you elegantly hide it?

By not letting it arise in the first place. I assume the drain of the floor-level shower in the bathroom above needs to be concealed?

Ask your construction manager or supplier what a higher ceiling structure for the attic floor would cost.

Rhenish regards

I would paint it in a suitable color, possibly matching the tone of the floor covering and thus highlight it.

The guest bathroom isn't that big. Just lower the ceiling completely.

I thought so at first, too, but then the windows are just barely below the ceiling. That also looks awkward.

Does the pipe come out in the middle of the room or at the edge?

If the pipe comes out at the edge and runs along the wall, you could, depending on the room size, run drywall all around similar to this casing and use it for indirect lighting. Alternatively, there are also such stucco elements for indirect lighting.
Of course, this is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for a guest WC.

Yes, the pipe runs along the wall at the edge. I was thinking something like that too. However, not all around, just on one side. Where can you get such stucco elements?
