This is a marketing piece discussing store layout - image a rectangular store with an area in the rear, off to the side, which essentially creates an "L" shaped store. This short annex off the main rectangle is referred to as the "décroché". Nook? I'm drawing a blank (I feel like I should know this word...) Thanks for your help.

wing
Hello,
L-shaped building would have a wing, which, in architecture, is a part of a building projecting on one side of, or subordinate to, a central or main part.

I hope this helps.

Comment: "Thanks - I was concerned that this term sounded like it related to a building rather than a room, but I think it's the best, most descriptive option. Thanks!"

One possibility.

ell
My hesitations about this are that although I believe it to be both right and descriptive...how commonly is it used?
Extension, arm, annexe, wing....all more common, perhaps less accurate?
