Hi all, i have a question for the structural engineers in you

In Layour-Current, i'd like to remove the walls circled in red
For toilet, remove 2 walls, and reduce length of one wall by 2 feet (from 8 feet to 6 feet)

For the store room, i'd like to remove it entirely, replacing it with an island

Please see attached plans

Are these walla structural walls? Ideally, how can/should i proceed with this?
this is a condo unit on the third floor

Would appreciate anyone's comments on this. Thanks!

unfortunately the management says it's "okay" but will need the contractor to have a look at the wall to determine. I suppose the best way to see it is to drill a hole and see if it's RC or not.

I have once looked at another unit when contemplating to buy, that the owner had removed part of the toilet wall, leaving the inner wall shortened (as per how i'd like to do mine. The storage room was left intact.

The proper blueprints, believe it or not are no longer with the developers. This was the only one i could get my hands on.

as stated above, the developer does not have the blueprints for the units already, not sure if that's just laziness ontheir part not looking into it, so i wont get much help from there
