Planning to build a new toilet and shower and encountered a problem...
There's a toilet and shower above.
I would need to saw down the beam to fit a 110 pipe at least 5cm from the plank floor.
On the floor below, there is no wall directly underneath; it's about 2m inwards from the picture. In the basement, there is a wall directly below.
The floor joists seem suspended with flat iron on the beam, which is 10x23cm.
The wall to the left is a wall that goes from the basement to this floor, a little unsure if it continues to the attic floor.
Ideas on what to do?
Support on the floor below, cut, connect new drainage, and put a 10-20mm plate in the entire 55cm space, with a hole for the drainage? I can make the plate 5-20cm higher than the beam if that’s better?
Install a beam in the ceiling on the floor below as reinforcement? There might be a pillar, but I'm unsure about it...
Looks a bit odd in the bathroom downstairs in a corner.
The bathroom was redone maybe 25 years ago, and I have no one left to ask about it...
No one with any ideas?
Otherwise, it'll probably be glulam beam in the ceiling and a pillar in the floor below...
There was a pillar where the drawing showed.
Without fully understanding the issue (at worst this may be a non sequitur response) - is there a possibility to run the drainage visibly in the warehouse ceiling instead?

It's an apartment today so preferably not, but it would be possible.
