Load-bearing wall?

[Krigare]

Is there anyone who can answer if this is a load-bearing wall?

The risk exists, but what do the upstairs and roof look like?

Most likely it's load-bearing based on the span. Is there more information about a possible upper floor and roof?

These are old drawings, but the walls are accurate..

According to the drawings, it should not be load-bearing, but it may still have some load-bearing effect for the floor on the upper level.

Aha. Thanks for the answer. It's hard to try to make the world's smallest house feel bigger

A glulam beam that supports may be possible to set up?

 

[harry73]

Is it possible to see what the intermediate floor looks like? In which direction do the floor beams between the bottom and attic floor lie?

That wall can probably stabilize the chimney.

According to the drawing, there should be a load-bearing wall parallel to the long side, see the section. The load-bearing wall goes from the basement and up through the floors. In the plan, this wall is not present. Does the wall in question also exist in the basement? If so, then it is load-bearing. However, there must be a load-bearing wall as the span is approximately 8 m on the long side and 7 m on the short side, which normally requires a heart wall.

I think it's the chimney/fireplace you see in the drawing.

 

[Villa vista]

A bit thin to be a chimney stack and it doesn't align with the chimney's centerline, but the drawings don't seem to match the relationship between section and plan.

 

[BirgitS]

I believe that the inner wall seen on the section drawing is the one "above" the hall and stairs. It seems to match the proportions. It is quite possible that the kitchen was not originally as large and that there was a small room to the left of the hall.

It seems to be a house with a plank frame, from the 1920s to 1940s. The floor joists may have different directions on the same level. The simplest way to find out how this is arranged is to check the direction of the floorboards in all the rooms upstairs.

Then we'll have to do that when we get the keys in a week. Trying to prepare as much as we can. Thanks for the reply
