A box would have to have sufficient openings to allow the heat to escape, otherwise the unit would overheat and possibly fail. If the openings are only slightly too small, it would still affect the efficiency of the unit, meaning that it would waste electricity compared to normal conditions. An air conditioner works by taking the heat out of the air and blowing it through the vent into the room. The excess heat and any waste heat is exhausted to the exterior with a fan that blows the hot air away. Perhaps there is some other kind of trellis or screen that can hide the unit from view but allowing the unit to work efficiently.

What is the best way to transition from a concrete basement wall ground surround to a stud wall exposed?

This will quite possibly involve an engineer, as the wall is most likely structural. Before you begin, make a trip to your local building department and verify what will be required. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that there are existing documents or an excepted alternative to engineering. Your local building official is the only one who can determine this for you. Hope this helps! Terry
