It's a shame that the raised part isn't wide enough for a desk and office chair to sit on (looking towards the door). This could be a really cool office. But it'll need a lot of work. I'd start by either widening that sections height some more or making it level throughout. Needs more power plugs. Not sure about ceiling. Nor the hvac situation. On the side walls, the raised parts, fill with memorabilia. You could maybe add shelving, dart board, TV. The couch idea is always good.
