Hello everyone,
We are planning to build a house next year in the fall. The detailed planning will probably start in winter or spring. However, I am already thinking about the basic floor plan and layout.
I have sketched some initial drawings and an important question regarding structural engineering came up: How many walls can a ceiling that is load-bearing underneath support on the upper floor? More specifically, I’m asking in general about the upper floor, especially the living room and dining room.
Could someone take a quick look and give a brief opinion on whether this would be feasible at all?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,

Regarding wet rooms: Is that more about the advantage related to pipe installation? I didn’t really pay attention to the layout.
Saying it’s an advantage is a bit too positive.
Wastewater has to go somewhere. Depending on the construction, some pipes can be slightly routed under the floor. The toilet is very limited in that regard. But eventually, the waste needs to go downwards. If there’s nothing in that direction...
Your parents’ bathroom would be very difficult to connect. And even if you use the exterior walls, you end up running the waste pipe through the dining room...
