Idk - then need vertical structures like posts? If you want to share this part - what is planned 'behind' in the room?

If you can finacially manage it, I owuld put the beam in, get rid of the whole wall, and be done with it.

The windows and what is below them do not contribute to the support so you can remove them; but you can't remove any of the framing that is on either side of each window. You'll also have to figure out what you are going to do about the wiring that is in that wall.

That would be really goofy looking. Do it righy and remove the whole, or just frame over the old windows and drywall them.

Just get rid of most of the window on the right.

Hi, Chris,

One thing to consider before altering a wall--even an interior one-- is whether it serves as a shear wall. It appears your home is modular construction. You might check with the manufacturer to get an answer.

I would just remove the windows, and leave that opening open, if you insist on open concept. I have to be honest here though, and tell you, I detest open concept, especially when it involves a kitchen area. I do have open concept between kitchen and dining room, because the house was built that way, and there is no good way to put a wall up between them, or I would have done that long ago. I cant stand looking at kitchens from other rooms, and I would never buy another house that had the kitchen open to other rooms.

Is this window wall in the inside of the house it is hard to tell where these windows are . A bit more info or better yet a to scale floor plan of the area would be a huge help. Did that wall used to be an exterior wall and now enclosed ?

The area below the windows may indeed be load-bearing... The posts on the sides of the windows may extend only down to the structure below the windows and not all the way to the floor.

I've never seen a support wall built that way, but I guess anything is possible. I'm betting there is a floor-to-ceiling post between the doorway and the window on the left and probably between the two windows. Easy enough to determine when you pull a window. And easy to add post reinforcement if needed.
