Hello everyone,
We are currently working on the shell of our house and have just poured the floor slab.
Now we are trying to decide how to build the partition wall shown in the plans between the kitchen/dining area and the living room.
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for this? Has anyone implemented something similar and can share pictures?
We have considered several options:
Unfortunately, we are having trouble picturing how it will look in the end.
We need to decide quite soon because the shell builders will start constructing the wall accordingly.
Also, depending on the decision, there would be no underfloor heating installed in that area (in case we later decide to remove the wall).
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

We have considered several options:
- whether to build it from masonry or as a timber frame structure,
- half-height, floor-to-ceiling, or just as a shelf/bookcase,
- leave it out completely,
- and so on.

We had a chimney (not floor-to-ceiling) built in a similar spot as in your plan. It serves as a kind of room divider and also places the chimney centrally in the room. Of course, I don’t know if you’re planning to have a fireplace... and it also has to fit on the upper floor! We are building without a fireplace.
There are many solutions online in this regard. Unfortunately, hardly any other useful ideas.
At the moment, we are leaning towards removing the wall to see later how the space feels without it.
My wife is considering a half-height wall...
As I said, we find it difficult to imagine the whole thing.
My initial suggestion would be to remove the angled wall, extend the right kitchen wall to 151 cm (60 inches), and position the entrance on the wall between the dining and living areas accordingly. This would also allow the door to be hinged the other way, making the kitchen a bit more hidden, if that is the intended purpose of the proposed partition wall.

Spontaneously, I would suggest dropping the angled wall, extending the right kitchen wall by 151 cm (60 inches), and then placing the entrance along the wall between the dining and living areas. That was also our first plan.
However, we chose the angled option because it allows better access along the kitchen-wall area and creates a nicer entry experience.
We don’t want to walk straight into the living room. (This is also why we considered adding a partial wall.)
But I think we’ll build it without the wall and add one later if needed, or maybe a shelf unit as Yvonne suggested [emoji106]
I find this wall, which is neither one thing nor the other, pointless. If it were a separation between the living and cooking areas, yes—but as a division between living and dining, and done in such a half-hearted way—it would definitely be better to use a piece of furniture instead of this wall section that no one really understands what the designer was trying to convey.
