Enclosing Radiator in Front Hall
We needed to run a new plumbing chase in our front hall, and our architect is recommending incorporating this into a new radiator enclosure to make it look a little less random. Makes perfect sense from a design perspective, but the radiator will have to be a bit smaller to fit the design. We'd be going to a radiator that's ~40" tall to one that's 28", in a typical front hall in a 20' brownstone, with entry vestibule. Thoughts on the likely impact to warmth? My reaction is that the hall doesn't need to be so hot, but I'd love a more informed opinion. Thanks!

I had radiators installed in my then unheated attic when I moved in - they are 1/2 the size of those in the rest of the house, and it's toasty up there. I wouldn't worry about it.
