Hultfredshus - and Load-bearing Walls

[mangew]

Anyone know anything about this brand that is no longer on the market?

We have a Villa Matilda with a construction year of 1993, single-story with a somewhat unique floor plan. We have a small interior wall in the hallway that we want to remove to increase the floor space in the hallway, and we are also going to replace the kitchen, so we want to cut off part of the wall between the kitchen and living room to create a more open floor plan in that direction.

The walls and parts of walls we want to remove are all in the same area and adjoin the hallway/kitchen/living room.

When we bought the house, the seller said the house has no load-bearing walls, but I take that with a grain of salt, so how can you know if they really are not load-bearing walls?

One goes up to the attic and checks how the rafters look.

I actually have a binder with drawings, based on this I don't have the competence to determine if it's load-bearing or not. I lack the basic construction technical knowledge.

To demolish and frame I have the knowledge for, but the question is whether it is load-bearing or not?

I'm uploading some pictures I took of the drawings.

It is the walls that follow the red lines on the floor plan that we are thinking of removing.

I don't have an answer to your question but I think the floor plan looks quite nice. It's so boring with all the straight walls and open floor plans everywhere today, at least a slanted kitchen looks more fun.

You have self-supporting trusses. The wall sections you want to remove can be removed without any problem.

You have self-supporting roof trusses. The wall sections you want to remove can be removed without any problems.

Thanks for the answer, that's what I also thought but wanted confirmation from someone who knows this better than me. On Friday evening, it will be about sharing a good bottle of red with the wife and putting the reciprocating saw to the walls so we then have the entire weekend to rebuild what is needed.
