After pest infestation, demolition, and new flooring, we are now going to make two rooms out of one large one. The opening that needs to be closed has part of the old timber wall on one side and an old chimney (no longer used) on the other side, which means the wall we put up needs to be about 30 cm thick. HOW do we build it in the best way??
After securing the timber wall against buckling, I would build a regular stud wall with 45x70 studs and let the difference in wall thickness show in one of the rooms. Maybe room for a bookshelf; with custom-built options, you can create many fun variations. It's silly to waste living space on a 30 cm thick wall.
I agree with the previous speaker.
Another alternative if you don't want bookshelves:
Frame up two walls with 45x70 studs, one aligning with the timber/chimney in one room and one aligning with the timber/chimney in the other room. Maybe a bit of insulation for soundproofing. But more time-consuming than the previous speaker's solution.
