The feeders would work there, or the stacked nesting boxes. I have a similar space on either side of my door in the coveted run. I put an elevated mini coop on one side and the trunk of an old peach tree on the other. They climb all over that tree...
Gorgeous coop!!! I was thinking broody/isolation pen, too. I have one, and it has been fantastic. I put a board above it, and the girls like to hang out up there. Maintains usable "floor space" even though it's not on the floor.
