Opening in interior wall, with construction drawing, in central Stockholm

[dirrekok]

We are planning to make two openings in an interior wall as we want to divide the kitchen into two parts and convert it into a 2-room apartment. The interior wall is about 12 cm. However, we do not have access to the apartment, so we cannot see what material is in the wall.

The apartment is in a building in central Stockholm and was built in 1927. Ours is located on the second floor of the courtyard building, which has 4 floors.

Can you help us determine if it is a load-bearing wall or not?

This is how it is intended to look:


Here is an original drawing from 1927.


Here is the floor structure drawing

The wall you have in the kitchen is not load-bearing, however, the wall in the hallway that goes down to the bathroom is load-bearing.

That's the answer we're hoping for, but what are you basing it on, apart from the fact that the wall between the kitchen and living room is thinner than the others? Can it be interpreted through the construction drawings?

Yes, I base it on the drawing along with knowledge of how old houses are built.
