Good morning, dear building experts,
Last week, I purchased an existing house. Unfortunately, the current layout does not completely meet my expectations. I would like to have an open kitchen combined with a dining area. To achieve this, I would need to remove a wall.
My question is whether you think this is feasible by installing a steel beam (TT beam) as a support. I am providing a drawing so you can see the current layout.
The walls or wall sections marked in blue are the ones I would like to remove, of course considering whether this is possible. The goal is to create a continuous space in the green-shaded area to use as kitchen and dining room.
The house dates back to the early 1970s.

But, as I said, be sure to get a structural engineer involved!!!
