Another question about load-bearing walls. ;-) We want to take down the wall that separates the basement stairs. So it becomes an open staircase down to the furnished basement and not a basement door. Then comes the question. Is it load-bearing in any way? It does not run along the ridge of the roof, but I'm attaching some pictures (original drawings) and wondering if anyone here can interpret them correctly? Attached are both construction plans, section drawings, attic floor plans, and roof trusses. I've marked the wall in pink. Very grateful for help!
 
  • Floor plan showing a marked wall section in pink, related to a discussion on whether it's load-bearing. Includes various architectural measurements.
  • Blueprint showing structural plan with a staircase wall marked in pink, questioning if it's load-bearing; includes dimensions and architectural details.
  • Architectural blueprint showing the structure of a floorplan with wooden beams and measurements. A wall is marked in pink, context hints it's about a staircase.
  • Blueprint section drawing of a house showing the roof structure, walls, and floors with measurements. Pink mark indicates the wall in question.
  • Blueprint of a building construction plan with wall measurements and roof truss details, featuring a section marked in pink for a basement stairway wall.
If you study the drawing of the attic floor, you can see that the pink-marked walls are not load-bearing. However, I would have liked to see a complete drawing with all the text, so the construction method would be clearer.
 
Absolutely. Are these all the drawings you want to see @justusandersson? Or just the one over vindbjälklag? Thank you very much for your response so far!
 
I would like to see some text that describes the construction method on the ground floor, as well as explanations of the text that is on the floor plan.
 
Unfortunately, I have no descriptive texts. Just a bunch of drawings. Could these be helpful? Partly the base floor framework and partly the masonry drawing. The dashed line between the chimney and letter A is a T-beam that lies in the ceiling to support in the basement. Could this provide any clues?
 
And here come the pictures. ;-)
 
  • Blueprint of a building plan with measurements and annotations, showing sections and layout details.
  • Hand-drawn floor plan with dimensions, showing a detailed layout for construction or renovation projects.
It seems to be an early element house. Svenska Trähus in Tranås?

An egnahems house in Enskede (Stockholm) actually. Sold as a kit as I understand it.
 
But you still hold the position that the wall is not load-bearing @justusandersson ?
 
Absolutely. Fun with a bit of building history as well.
