Hello! I'm planning an extension of a vacation house. Part of it will be an insulated glass room, and another part will be a two-story addition. For this, I want to create openings in the gable according to the red markings on the drawings. The wall elements on the gables have studs measuring 195x45.

I couldn't find the roof truss plan, but I'm 99% sure it's a gable end with a truss resting on the "long sides" of the square house. There is no intermediate floor as it is open to the "ridge." I believe the weight of the windows over the larger opening affects more than potential snow load in the snow zone, which is 2.5`?

In the pictures, you can see the construction and the gable end waiting for installation, as well as the roof trusses where the picture on the opposite side of the intended openings is the clearest.

Tips on solutions, calculations, and other cheerful comments are gratefully received!
