Hi,
My partner and I are looking at an apartment, specifically an upper floor in a functionalist house with a hipped roof from 1938. A potentially decisive aspect for us is whether it is possible to knock down one of the walls in the house. I've tried to do some reading and my guess is that the wall is load-bearing as the roof trusses are perpendicular to the wall. Is there anyone more knowledgeable who can confirm this based on this original drawing? I've circled the wall of interest in red.
If it is indeed a load-bearing wall, what are the possibilities of making an opening with a glulam beam and what could it cost?
Definitely load-bearing, there is a corresponding wall on both floors below (ground floor + basement). Additionally, the span is 9m, so there must be some support.
It clearly requires a strong construction to support the roof above, and don't forget that it should rest on the sides, so you probably can't manage without some columns connecting to the side walls.
Cost, no idea. For a serious cost estimation, a professional probably needs to look on-site.

I understand, I'll do that! Thank you for the help 😊
