Offset load-bearing post?

[Stylo]

Is there any way to remove and switch the support leg in the middle? The c-c measurement is about 1100-1200 mm and the dimensions of the roof beams are about 95x70, and the house is from the 1930s, a brick house.
Grateful for advice!

Anything is possible. What does it look like on the floor below where the support legs come down? You need to install a beam to transfer the load from what you want to remove, and its loads must be transferred down into the structure with columns/posts all the way to the ground or some form of foundation.

You need to insert a beam to transfer the load of what you want to remove, and its loads must be transferred further down in the structure with pillars/posts all the way down to the ground or some form of foundation.

As it is currently built, the support legs rest on a beam, which in turn rests on the floor joists, which in turn rest on the brick facade. So there is nothing directly under this support leg.

No, and that's the problem if you remove one of the support legs. You get a higher load on the remaining/new support legs and nothing to absorb that load.
What are you planning to do when you want to remove this?

I don't think it rests on the brick facade. Rather on the structure behind it.

Bring someone knowledgeable about construction if you're uncertain. It might also be the case that you need to make a construction notification.

I don't think it rests on the brick facade. Rather on the frame behind it.

Consult someone knowledgeable in construction if you're unsure. It might be that you also have to make a building notification.

No sorry, I mean the brick frame that is the facade wall.

Okay, yes that might be the case, thank you.
