If the wooden blocks can still be pushed inward or a plate of the same height can be glued on, then I would also cover this beam with carpet. If you are creative by nature, with mosaic, mirror, wood, or just fix the edge and leave the concrete.

There are certainly many solution variants that could look visually successful, tiered according to budget and aesthetics. For example, a "wood lathing" on the horizontal step at the height of the screw connection. Lock the floorboards (not necessarily parquet) onto the wood lathing so that the now reworked screw connections can bear the load if someone should walk on the horizontal surface. Shorten these floorboards vertically at the front, at the glass surface, with a 5mm gap, and mill (have milled) the opposite side, i.e., leading to the vertical surface, at a 45° angle. For the vertical concrete base surface, also mill the top of the floorboards at 45°, drill holes with a chamfered drill collar at a sufficient distance on the floorboards. The later screw heads will be flush integrated into the (vertical) wood surface this way. Then, in the installed state, carefully moisten the wood surfaces, let them dry, sand down the raised fibers with fine sandpaper, and after dust removal, treat the wood with an oil/wax mixture. ------------- This is just one of the possibilities. All others, such as applying mass, will be extremely difficult to implement due to the many wooden blocks supporting the glass wall, to make it "look like something." The wooden cladding, as mentioned before, seems to me to be one of the visually appealing and at the same time cost-acceptable solutions. --------------- A good decision: KlaRa

Put wooden battens on, so create a frame and then clad it with HPL panels in the desired color.

Thank you for the suggestions. Then I'll start by building a frame out of wooden slats. For example, can the HPL also be cut at a 45-degree angle at the corner, so that I can nicely wrap it around the corner? If I need multiple panels, are there transition profiles available? I probably have to join several together, since I need to cover a length of about 6m. Or can I install them edge to edge?

What do you think, what thickness do I need for the HPL panels, for example?

How does the whole thing look from below and/or outside?

Gallery and TV does not sound like a good concept. For example, I would like to offer good sound. Which is not always to the joy of those involved downstairs. Likewise, when loud discussions take place downstairs, you don't feel like watching TV. Watching TV with headphones is not really ideal in the long run.

In my opinion, if you do it, you use HPL planks. They are probably available in 6 meters long. It works better with the standing board at the front and a lying profile on top. With the appropriate mounting clips, you can even do it without visible screws.

But I would prefer it with wooden planks.
