Boxing in soil pipe

[PaulStat]

Currently six weeks in to a kitchen extension, we need to make a decision on how to box in the soil pipe from the upstairs bathroom. In the picture below you can just about see on the right hand side where the pipe came down originally. That opening is going to widen to round about where the microwave is, hence why it's been redirected. The room itself will be a vaulted ceiling with the high end being about 12 ft. The tall kitchen cabinets will be over on the left hand side, and will be 2.3 m tall. We're struggling to imagine the best way to box in the soil pipe without it looking crap. Any suggestions? Been looking on pinterest but can't really find any examples test are similar

The problem you've got is that you're always going to need to have access into the top of that pipe where the joints are... My first thought would be to line out the whole wall and completely hide it, but then the access looks weird as you'd have to have a removable panel...
You could box out the top and side around the pipe and then mirror the vertical on the other side of the opening? Hard to suggest a decent solution without knowing what the layout/ arrangement of rooms is, have you got a plan?

Replace it with metal pipes and claim you're running some industrial steam punk vibe?

If it was me... Probably would box around it and raise the whole wall out in a small frame so I walked into the room through almost a connecting mini hall.

Like this, but more pronounced so the frame would come out into the room.

Previous owner boxed ours in with wood... looks daft, should have just brought the wall out a bit more with plasterboard.

Your cleanest look will be to bring out the wall but with the need for an access point you may need some trickery, hide it behind a cupboard or even a picture frame or shelf I don't know.

bring the wall out so that plasterboard cover it on the left side of that doorway.
It isn't a huge wall so you won't lose much space.
You could chase the wall out a bit if you wanted so that you don't have to bring the wall out so much to cover it

The wall on the other side of the door can remain the same as it is now.

Simplest and cleanest solution I think.

Bring the wall out to cover it, this is what we did when we extended our kitchen. We have left no access to the pipe it is all solvent glued joints which should be zero maintenance and nobody touched the previous exposed pipe work for 20 years. If we need access then we will have to cut a section out then make good the plasterwork afterwards.
