Hidden rooms
A little mystery, built to work every day.
A concealed door can make a study, pantry or private room feel like part of the architecture. The surprise is only good when the door opens smoothly, closes cleanly and disappears into the surrounding finish.
We plan the opening, hardware, weight and millwork together. Bring a designer's drawing or show us the wall you have in mind. We will talk through what the house can support.
What we plan first.
01
The opening
The wall, floor and framing behind the finished face.
02
Weight and hardware
Hinges and hardware chosen for how heavy the door is and how often it will be used.
03
The finished face
Millwork, shelving or paneling that lines up with the room around it.
Every project follows the same six stages, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. See how the process works.

That is the goal. The opening, hardware and millwork are planned together so the closed door reads as part of the wall. We will talk through what your wall and floor can support.
