I built a 14x28 for a cabin a couple of years ago. Not that this is "gospel", but it is what I did. I drilled holes for 6x6 treated posts, and fastened treated 2x10 headers to them. On top of this, I framed the floor and sheathed with plywood. For the walls above this, I conventionally framed them, etc.

Mine has an 8" porch on one end, with 12x12 loft over the porch and into the cabin itself. I closed the walls in with hemlock board & batten and shingle roof. I framed the open section of roof with a "truss" design and the loft with a cathedral ceiling. First floor walls are 7", with a total wall height of 14" (which is about 6" upstairs after the loft floor framing.

I would expect that this may fly for your use with some ingenious ramp system (or taking advantage of the grade of the site, etc.

Sorry so long.
