Second Story floor elevations

[CoolHandLuke]

I need to keep the second story floor level the same even though part of it is over a 9 foot ceiling for most is over a 10 foot ceiling.

In this plan Bed 2 will drop down to meet the ceiling height of the first floor kitchen.

But that leaves it down relative to the rest of the 2nd story floor.

If I put the 2nd floor back to where it matches then the kitchen will change also.

There are a few options for this. A shelf ceiling set a 109 1/8" will work. Main floor walls between the 9' & 10' ceilings will need to be adjusted to 'ballon through ceiling above' or dragged up manually.

You could also add a layer to the ceiling structure on the 9' side.

I would try a search for dropped ceilings:
