We are soon moving into a "new" house - a concrete house from the 1950s.
In the master bedroom, there are almost no closets. Today, there is an opening about 60 cm wide and 180 cm high to a 120 cm wide closet.
In the adjacent smaller bedroom, there is a large portion of the dividing wall.
The wall is about 3.5 m, roughly in the middle of the house, from the exterior wall to a centrally placed transverse wall (the hallway).
Now we would like to remove about 2/3 of the wall (another meter to the side and up to the ceiling from the old opening) and move the "back wall" into the child's bedroom to install sliding doors to a wider closet from the parent's side.
Is it crazy? What happens with a concrete wall? Does it need to be reinforced? With steel beams, perhaps? Is it a disproportionately complicated job? What can be expected?
Aaaagghhh, in a wooden house, I would know. For me, this new building technique complicates things.
Input would be very helpful.
