Getting more ceiling height - options?

Our new-to-us house has 7’8” ceilings. It’s a cape house built in the 70s. We are planning to do a fairly large scale remodel and are wondering what options we have for capturing more height. We are considering lofting some areas (though we would have to remove a bedroom or two upstairs to do it…not ideal). We are also considering stepping down the floor joists, something an architect friend suggested. We will have an architect & engineer on board for this project (not gonna DIY this!), but I’m still in the information gathering stage while we think about the scope & scale of the reno and would like to hear about others experiences.


I’m curious if anyone has experience with getting more ceiling height. What did you do? Was it worth it? Thanks!
