Hello!

Our living room is very long and I would like to separate a part with a plasterboard wall. However, the plasterboard wall should not be installed across the entire width, but only about 3/4. Thus, one side of the plasterboard wall would be attached to the masonry, but the other would basically end in the middle of the room. The plasterboard wall should go up to the ceiling, so a proper attachment should be ensured, right? Now I would also like to make some kind of hole in the plasterboard wall so that light can still fall into the separated area. Is that feasible? Or will I encounter problems?

Regards

You don't just put up a gypsum wall in drywall construction.

There belongs a stud substructure (U-profiles). Then the gypsum walls (on both sides) go on it. Only then is it stable. Everything else falls over just by looking at it.

Depending on where the recess is supposed to be, the substructure must be reinforced.

ok, but I can then delimit this "interruption" with appropriate "profiles" and make the wall strong enough so that it does not collapse?

Um.. drywall can be many things.. I have massive, 10cm wide plaster boards. And you can do it very easily with that.
