We live in a 1.5 story villa from 1909. We are considering tearing down a wall in the kitchen on the first floor and are wondering if you think this wall is load-bearing? If it is load-bearing, how can it be addressed?
Living in a 1.5-story villa from 1909. We are considering tearing down a wall in the kitchen on the first floor and wonder if you think it is load-bearing? If it is load-bearing, how can we solve it?
See attached images with the marked wall.
Thanks!

Most likely, it is load-bearing. You solve it by installing a beam made of glulam or steel.
Jag tror det är en bärande vägg. Even if the joists of the second floor are as one part, the one that supports them would not bend too much. The drawing shows that the span of the outer walls is about 8 m. The solution is to leave 2-3 logs under the ceiling as a joist, because I suppose the walls of this building are logs. Next to the walls, I would use pillars supporting this joist.
