Consider making some loft stairs for your project. I designed a set, and with practice, I could actually run up and down them. The secret is making the "rise" standard, but halve the "run", and remove every other half tread (the stairs have a stringer in the center, or shaped treads, with "reliefs").

The design allows you to have a nearly-normal walking stair, in the space of what would otherwise be a ladder, by removing half of every tread (which you don't use unless you walk up an down like a five year old), so that you can walk down frontwise, with room for your heel, and not have to back down like a ladder.

Shipmans ladder...but with 11ft you're cracking you head on one or BOTH levels (or at least I am.....at 6'-2")

FYI a "full" bathroom with only a standup shower is not actually a "full" bath, but rather a 3/4 bath.

That is all I can add to this.

Oh, except that it must be a small car in Krabills drawing. My car is 18' bumper to bumper, and my pickup will be well over 20'!

It must be a Pinto in his drawing.

It's a Jeep Cherokee. I don't care if your trucks won't fit . . . mine will

Yeah but a 6.5' area below leaves you 5.5' less the floor, and less whatever insulation/ceiling you may put in the "upstairs". So, when you are done you have under 4.5'.

Here you go...with ladder and stove

Okay, maybe that does kinda suck.

You could make some kind of sleeping "nook" Just space for the bed, a night stand and room to roll over. This way it technically could be lower near the foot of the bed. I mean in your loft of course.
