Hello, I am planning to build a wall and am considering whether aerated concrete (YTONG) is a good choice. Here is the situation – I have a fairly large living room (35 square meters (377 square feet)) where the kitchen will also be located. However, I want to separate the kitchen with a wall (shown in yellow in the picture) to prevent cooking smells from spreading directly into the living room.
In addition, I would like to find some kind of "glass solution" (shown in green in the picture) to allow some sunlight to enter the kitchen. I need some ideas for this, as a simple window would look odd.
My question is – is a wall made of aerated concrete suitable for this? Is it strong enough to support the upper kitchen cabinets? If yes, how thick should the wall be?
Please excuse my poor German skills and thank you very much in advance!

Ytox 14x75mm with Spax 8-10mm screws. 0.4 kN tension load.
However, each anchor costs 68 cents...
