Load-bearing wall

[Axel Svensson]

Hello

We are going to renovate and want to take down two walls and believe that these are load-bearing.
Do you think the walls between the kitchen and living room are load-bearing?

We are going to remove the laundry room and have an open floor plan.

Thank you

Is it the "klädvård" room that is to be removed? Interesting layout with a standalone toilet I assume that is also going, right? What is the wall material of the walls that are to be removed and the ones that will remain?

Draw on the layout which walls you plan to demolish.

Is it the "laundry care" room that is going away? Interesting layout with a standalone toilet I assume that one is also going, right? What is the wall material in the walls that are going to be removed and the ones that remain?

Draw on the layout which walls you plan to remove.

No, it's the two walls between the kitchen and living room that are going down. I believe at least one is load-bearing. In other words, the laundry room shall be removed.

Between the kitchen and the living room is the room labeled "klädvård", right??? I assume that's what you're calling a laundry room, but I can't know for sure, can I? If it's the two interior walls furthest to the right on the drawings that should be removed, there will almost be a freestanding toilet left (room labeled "WC" with a door to "Entré")?

As mentioned, mark on the drawing what should be removed and specify the wall materials.

The walls are likely both load-bearing, but it cannot be determined with the current information. Since it is a single-story house, it is also possible that no wall is load-bearing. Sectional drawings and technical descriptions facilitate the assessment.

Your house looks very similar to mine. I have a load-bearing wall running along the entire house and it's the one closest to your living room that goes through the bathroom and bedroom.

Probably both walls are load-bearing, but it cannot be determined with the current information. Since it is a one-story house, it may also be that no wall is load-bearing. Sectional drawing and technical description facilitate the assessment.

I also have these pictures.
In one picture, it says load-bearing wall, but this part is on another part of the house, yet it is still marked Load-bearing wall.
Then the walls between the kitchen and living room should also be marked load-bearing if they are?

I also have these images.
In one of the images, it says load-bearing wall, however, this part is on a different part of the house, but it is still marked as Load-bearing wall.
Shouldn't the walls between the kitchen and living room also be marked as load-bearing if they are?

It's a bit difficult to assess. The easiest approach is to assume that the wall separating the living room is load-bearing and act accordingly.
