Building interior wall with acoustic tile ceiling

[emde]

I have a question. I have a ceiling that is lowered with such acoustic panels. I'm going to put up an interior wall in the room. Can the wall be built without touching the ceiling, or do I have to cut away for the wall?
Of course, it is possible to build underneath, but I want to be sure it will hold.
What are the pros and cons of doing that?
Could one otherwise build up studs over the acoustic panels and then stud up underneath and then screw them together to avoid cutting the panels? I would prefer to avoid that...

No one who knows anything?

It is common to use studs all the way, but only put gypsum just above the acoustic tiles. At least in open-plan offices.
It won't be a good wall if it doesn't get support all the way, it will sway a lot.

yep, it works, not particularly stable but it works.
You place the bracket against the ceiling with a gap and a bit of insulation on-

Thanks for the feedback! But what do you think about my final proposal? To use studs up to the tiles and make studs above the tiles and then run threaded rods or something similar through?
Wouldn't that be quite stable?
Then I'll make the least impact on the tiles... Only the threaded rod has to go through.

Thank you for the feedback! But what do you think about my last suggestion? To frame up to the tiles and make beams above the tiles and then run through threaded rods or something similar?
Shouldn't that be pretty stable?
That way, I make the least damage to the tiles... Only the threaded rod that needs to go through.

Why not replace the boards with white-painted gypsum with plywood on the back?

It works to just attach the wall to the ceiling grid. You don't need to build any wall above either, Eurovand builds many of its office landscapes in this way.

It works to just attach the wall to the ceiling framework. You don't need to build any wall above either, Eurovand builds many of their office landscapes in this way.

It works to just attach the wall to the framework of the suspended ceiling. You don't need to build any wall above it either, Eurovand constructs many of its office landscapes this way.

But the suspended ceiling is attached with metal tracks hanging in thin wire. So nothing to attach to...

why not replace the boards with white-painted plaster with plywood on the back?

Too much work and too tight budget.
