Partition walls are necessary wherever big rooms shall be partitioned into smaller ones. The partitioning of rooms into smaller rooms depends on the use of the rooms. For example, the goods to be stored may dictate the size of the rooms and the necessity for partitioning of rooms.
But the use of a cold roof attic for housing purposes also necessitates partitioning of rooms. The use of rooms calls for specific constructional requirements to be met by the partition wall.

So, the design of a partition wall for housing purposes differs from that for storing purposes of temperature-insensitive or temperature-sensitive goods.
In any case, partition walls for housing purposes call for sound insulation (sound-proofing). Sometimes heat insulation will also be required. The surface finish of the partition walls also depends on the use of the room.
Rooms intended for housing purposes call for partition walls with a surface of aesthetic appearance.
This is not required when the room shall be used for storing purposes.
