Architect did indeed roll his eyes. I'm a little torn. The chimney breast on ground floor is going, for good reasons, and he wants to get rid of it on first floor too. But I don't want to lose a nice original feature. Totally fine with it being a bit fake and against a wall with no actual chimney behind though. Other option is to put it in our main bedroom, where there would have been one, but has long since been removed.
