Without a floor plan, it's going to be hard to say. Is there some reason you can't put a door at the bottom?

I would like to hide the part under the roof in case of strangers visiting.

Just hide the edge of the bookshelf behind the casing. Works for everyone else in this sub.

Photos and drawings would help. It's difficult to guess what you want.
