Hello

I am wanting make a walk in utility from the kitchen into my garage. The inner skin of the garage is insulated and the joists run from side to side on the property. I can see the inner wall is load bearing as it continues to the next floor and the joists are bedded into the wall structure .

The house is 3 stories for reference.

No other internal walls are double skinned and are single skinned. I want to remove the inner skin I am pointing at by 1.8m.

The joists are supported by the inner "core of" the building as far as I can see and the garage partition where the door wants to be is none supporting either.

Any help would be appreciated

Mike

Sorry. Hard to tell from your pics. A plan view sketch might help if you can upload one.
 
Sorry. So the are in question is circled yellow.

The other picture is essentially how the joists run (600mm centres) and the red represents the steels that are in place now.

On the upper picture the wall behind my finger is the wall in question. It is the inner skin of the garage wall. I think it is only there for fire & insulation regs. The wall in which the joist is bedded is where the stairs are, so the inner core of the building.

You need to include the 1st floor plan to illustrate if any of it's walls are supported by the section you wish to remove.
That crack running in front of your hand is interesting as there has obviously been some load on the block

At a minimum, it is providing support for the joints of the landing floor, but what is above that?
