Moving the chimney inside the wall - Advantages - Disadvantages?

Hello everyone,

our floor plan has actually been finalized for quite some time. During the structural calculations, it was noticed that the position of the chimney is unfavorable for the roof construction. It runs exactly through the hip rafters.
I had agreed with the architectural firm to move the chimney half a meter. However, this morning it was apparently noticed that this is not enough and it would need to be moved another 8 cm, since the roofer also needs space for the flashing on the hip rafter (no idea what exactly is meant by that).
As a result, the chimney on the upper floor is now located in the wall between the two children's rooms.
Apart from the chimney in the ground floor shifting further to the right and thus affecting the appearance, are there any disadvantages that arise for us here? For example, noise issues or similar?
(An 11.5 cm sand-lime brick wall is planned as the wall.)

More likely 12.5

I’ll say it openly: some days, I simply don’t feel like searching through a thread starter’s post history to find out if and where the house (or at least the floor plans) is visible in full. The zoomed-in snippets focused on the sore spot poorly convey the context, which makes giving advice more difficult.

We basically have the fireplace twice - gas and wood-burning stove. And then on both sides of the wall. The only negative thing I've noticed: there is a small expansion joint in the wall that has to be sealed with silicone (???), and of course it remains visible; the plasterer also has to be more careful and possibly work with mesh.

Oh, and in case of doubt, the heat radiates slightly into two rooms with you (I assume it is for a wood-burning stove).

In some cases, the fireplaces were also bricked in here - talk to your planner about where the finished part of the fireplace really stays and where walls can/must be built.

Oh, I didn’t think that the entire floor plan was necessary.
Of course, you don’t have to and should not gather it together:



But why 12.5?

Ok, the slight heat emitted is not so bad.
We are building with a general contractor. He provides the prefabricated chimney, as well as the wall and also does the plastering. So hopefully he can manage to coordinate all that.

I could imagine that the plaster in the other kids’ room might crack more easily at the spot where the transition from the chimney (What kind of stone is that actually?) to the calcium silicate wall is.

I seem to remember that I meant from the very beginning that the chimney should go in the corner. We also installed our chimney upstairs as a "wall." So the room wall was aligned flush with the chimney and then clad together. I wouldn't know what disadvantages that should have. Noise in the children's room? Are they already snoring so loudly at night? Which fireplace did you choose for the living room? With a ceiling-high design, chimneys can be wonderfully concealed, whether on the left, right, or center of the wall.

Twelve and a half instead of eight, because I would always make whole octameter steps. Does your drawing show the shift +50 or already +50 +8?

It's a pity that the other drawings in this case do not allow me to come up with a more sophisticated / elegant idea.

I have to admit, when I saw and commented on your plans at the time, I probably overlooked the chimney on the ridge. At least in the elevation view, that should have been noticeable.

If it's only about 8 cm up there (well, with tolerance maybe better 10), then maybe the ridge line could be shifted by slightly varying the roof overhangs?

That would seem more elegant to me than having to let the chimney also protrude into the children's room.

The "material change" interior wall / chimney is unproblematic, an expansion joint can be color matched.
