Does anyone know an easy way for me to achieve this curved niche in Revit? Know the basics of Revit but not sure on the wall sweep tool and think this might be the best way to create this by creating a profile. Thank you in advance for any help or advice!
don't overthink it, just draw the wall with an arc at the corner and give it a base offset.

Seems like the mock up image provided by @hmunsell is on point. Can you share a larger image of the area so we can see how the walls relate to each other beyond the kitchen? Ordinarily the wall behind the sink would be the demising wall between units and the soffit over the sink/counter would be "plus", built out from the demising wall, not a niche into another unit. Much simpler to deal with fire separation at that wall than up/over/up etc...that you seem to be suggesting. Also how can the curved wall shown in your image continue straight but be curved. This sounds like asking for a "blue cat but can it also be red"?

Hi, thank you for your response! I guess I am talking more about the soffit but the wall does recess in like a niche. I was meaning the shared wall would be straight and I got confused in the image they had provided showing a curve all the way to the right and trying to understand how I could incorporate that into the wall when I am just needing more of a curved soffit not the full wall. Sorry for the confusion I confused myself. The only photo I have is the one provided, unfortunately, so i can't see how the rest of the wall continues. However, below I have provided a screenshot of the wall I am working with.
Greatly appreciate both of your help and quick responses!!
That plan doesn't correspond with the rendering entirely, no stair above, no door for example. However, what @hmunsell showed you should work as depicted, apart from reconciling how to relate to the curtain wall exterior well. What's missing from your model/plan is the short vertical wall next the the refrigerator that would start the soffit wall, then extend over the sink/counter unit curving back to the demising wall between units. A ceiling would fill in between the soffit wall and the demising wall and it's boundary would follow the arc of the wall. The soffit wall wall that fits between the Curtain Wall exterior and refrigerator extends from the floor up the structure above and then another wall starts above the refrigerator (using a base offset) and then extends over the sink. If the two walls use the same materials (same type) then they should blend together so they appear as one.

Pardon the question, but I have to ask -- are you aware that you can draw curved walls?
