Currently framing interior walls in my house. Using metal tracks on the floor and ceiling with 70 mm wooden studs at 600 mm centers, the walls will be covered with OSB and gypsum. I've now reached a real special corner where three walls meet like a "triple border point." How would you frame this/go about it? I guess there are as many ways as there are carpenters, but it would be fun to see how you think.

Best answer

I would have used the metal tracks like you do and then profiled them as it becomes where the walls meet, then joined the wooden studs where they stop in the corner, possibly insulated before you press the last stud together. Then used folding metal tape, which is sometimes used in drywalling, it is 100mm wide and available on a roll you can buy. Bent it in each corner and screwed the studs together with it, creating a sharp corner from all directions, both strong and easier with both OSB and drywall later on.

Isn't it complicating the whole thing unnecessarily with these slanted walls and doors?
I think it looks like two doors in line next to each other would just fit.

Then there won't be a rule between the door frames, it will be the next door frame against the door frame, about 20mm of air in between.

Or maybe reduce one or both doors to 80 centimeters.
 
There will be diagonal walls. Have acquired folding strips of sheet metal. Will probably need to draw everything on the floor first and then do as p olsson wrote.
