second floor addition built into vaulted ceiling

I have a large room 20*40 with a vaulted ceiling. I would like to divide the room into two section by creating a separate TV room and a separate great room. From the North end of the great room I would build a wall at the eleven foot mark creating a room of twenty by 11. If I want to build a loft on top of that new room (to be accessed by a ladder or stair) do I need to remove the roof above or can I do it all within the existing space without having to remove the roof above (by tying in the cross beams to the existing framing). I will not be doing this myself but with a contractor. I just want to know if I need to take off the roof.
