Foundation wall in Leca, how to lower plasterboard to floor level on the inside?
Hello,
I am in the process of building a large garage, 1.5 stories with extended wall height. Insulated slab on the ground, one row of Leca as the foundation wall that the frame stands on.
Overall, the frame is 145x45 + 45x45 for electrical wiring + OSB + Gypsum board. The depth will be the same as the Leca block.
A space of about 9 sqm will serve as an entrance hall with an exterior door and stairs to the upper floor. I will be adding a moisture barrier + foam + flooring in the entrance hall.
The "problem" is the foundation wall. The wall only goes down to the foundation wall in the garage section, but in this space, I want it to go all the way down to the floor.
My idea is to pull the flooring's moisture barrier (construction plastic) up over the entire foundation wall, use 45x70 instead of 45x45 to extend the wall "outside" the foundation wall, and bring the gypsum board all the way down to the floor.
Is this an acceptable solution? The gypsum board won't be fixed the last bit; I assume it's not a good idea to screw through the gypsum board into the foundation wall?
Tips and ideas are gratefully received.

I have also lowered the plaster inside the leca. However, I have OSB behind which makes it quite alright.
I have lowered the moisture barrier in the wall so it covers the stone, so you get plastic between the leca and the OSB board.

Thank you for your reply.
How did you handle the floor against the concrete?
Plastic and laminate on that? Tiles?
Everyone has different opinions on how you should do it, it's hard to know who to listen to =)
"Platonmatta is a must," some say, others say no, "it's enough to plastic the concrete, but there must be an air gap to the laminate floor," "no, lay the laminate floor directly on the plastic"...
