Hello,

We have just bought a house in Gothenburg, built in 1937 by Svenska Trähus AB. We are now planning some projects in the house and before we start, we would like to determine which walls are load-bearing or not. Unfortunately, we can't find much documentation of the house, except for a couple of original drawings that we retrieved from the city planning office's archive, I am attaching photos of these (one for each floor).

Is there anyone here on the forum who can give us tips and good advice on how the house is built, i.e., which walls are load-bearing?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, Petter

Presumably, you can assume that the load-bearing wall in the basement is the same on each floor, but... :)
