The house lacks load-bearing inner walls.

Hello there!
Thanks for the response!

Does it show in the drawing that there are no load-bearing walls then?
 
The truss type (W-truss) can only rest on the outer walls. If it needs support in the middle, the framework looks different. However, it is rarely relevant for such narrow houses.

Okay!

There is at least one wall referred to as a heart wall. But heart walls might not be load-bearing by definition?

Heart wall is a wall that runs through the middle of the house along its entire length. It does not mean that it has to be load-bearing, but the nomenclature is not clear-cut.

Yes, that's what I suspected somewhere. Now I have answers to my questions. I must thank you so very much for your answers.
