Generation of 3D objects and location, ventilation ducts

Is this possible?
The starting point is that you have a one-storey house, which is a 3D volume. In that house there are 3 rooms with a narrow common corridor. The idea is to draw 2 separate ventilation ducts that have different dimensions, from room 1 to room 3 via the common corridor, at the top near the ceiling.
On the one hand, the two ventilation ducts should not collide with each other, nor should they be too close to the ceiling or corridor walls. Of course, I want the ventilation ducts to be as high as possible to maximize the free height under the ventilation ducts. But the problem is that the corridor where the ventilation ducts should run is limited in width (say 1.2 meters), so the ventilation ducts need to be dimensioned in relation to the width of the corridor, as well as in relation to the other ventilation duct that has a different dimension. The dimension or rather cross-sectional surface of the ventilation duct will be calculated on the air speed of the duct (which is based on the airflow specified by the user, or inserts into the script).
You may use GUI to manually draw the one-storey house, the rooms, the corridor and available space (or width) where your ventilation ducts should run, but the rest should only be done via script/programming in FreeCAD.
Is this even possible?
