    Hi.
    We are building an internal half wall to seperate a kitchen/living area. Anyone know what the minimum height is?

    750mm - typical desk height. conceivably someone could fall over a half wall of that height if they were "distracted"
    900mm - kitchen worktop height - probably your best option to maintain a sense of connection between to two spaces.
    1100mm - barrier height. The height one tends to stand against resting hands/elbows on.

    I'd use TGD Part K as a guidance for the height.
