Is this wall load-bearing?

emiper · 8 Feb 2015 at 8:59 AM

We have just bought a house built in 69/70 and are currently considering the floor plan and what is possible without too much remodeling. Does anyone here know if this wall can be/is load-bearing?

Floor plan showing a house layout with red arrows indicating specific walls, likely questioning their structural integrity for renovation purposes.

Our idea is to remove parts of or the entire wall to create a more open floor plan between the living room and kitchen.

Also attaching two pictures from the roof truss drawing:

Thanks in advance!

With such roof trusses, it is with near certainty that only the outer walls are load-bearing.

@fahlis:
Tried searching online for the minimum dimensions for free-standing roof trusses with a span of 10m but found nothing.
So I(we) can, with some probability, considering your answer regarding the trusses, take down parts of the wall without major risk?
