How do I do in this corner?

[trasker]

Hello,

Tried to illustrate the following in the picture

Going to convert a laundry room into a bedroom.

There is a wall that is half chimney breast and half the end of a wardrobe row. From what I understand according to current building codes, you can't just put a building board against the chimney breast but must space it out with metal studs. No problem.

The wardrobe doors are to be replaced with sliding doors. To give them something to close against at the outer corner between the wardrobe's long side and the short side, I plan to extend the building board and drywall about 5-7 cm. I'm not exactly sure how much the sliding door extends outward.

Can I, as in the picture, just let the building board and drywall (i.e., the new wall) extend 5-7 cm outside the stud? Will it be stable?

Or should I extend the last stud as far as the projection on the new wall?

Hope you can understand what I mean

Thank you so much!

If it's a decent building board, it should be sturdy enough, I think.
Then, it might not look so nice when you just see a stud a little further in (when the sliding door isn't there),
but you could probably make a nicer finish between the wall and the door end if needed.

Edit: In theory, I would probably have added an extra stud (almost) at the edge and covered the other side of the corner with a strip of board/drywall.

You're probably right, I think I'll put an extra stud in the corner minus the thickness of the board/plaster.

Thanks for the input!
