Like many others here, I have questions about whether the wall I am going to remove is load-bearing or not. The part of the house this wall is in is on the basement level and in an extension of the house made in the mid-70s. The room is a bathroom with a not completed sauna that we now want to remove to make the laundry room more functional. I'm attaching some pictures of the drawings and how it looks today, and hope some wise person can help. The wall is a total of 2.85 m, and we plan to tear down 1.85 m, i.e., the door and everything to the left (as seen from the bathroom).

  • Blueprint of a basement plan from the 1970s, highlighting a bathroom area with a sauna section to be removed for renovation.
  • Blueprint showing a bathroom layout with a marked section of a wall in red. The highlighted area is subject to removal for renovation purposes.
  • Concrete block wall in a bathroom with unfinished sauna area; visible door frame and wooden ceiling. Renovation planning context.
  • A tiled bathroom with a wooden door outlined in red, indicating a section of the wall planned for removal to expand into a laundry area.
Unusually simple question and with the right drawing for the question to be answered quickly!
The blue is the exterior walls and load-bearing walls, so there is no problem tearing down the red (well, except for the exterior wall then):

Thank you!! :heart:
 
I completely agree with @Anna_H but just want to point out that the red square is positioned differently on the basement floor plan and the ceiling plan. On the latter, incorrectly.

You're right, the square is right in the middle of the hobby room on that drawing! I should have seen that! Regardless, it works fine where it's supposed to be too.
