Challenge
The client needed a discreet and functional solution to access their utility room for drying and storing items. They wanted a hidden fold-out door that seamlessly blended with the wall and provided easy access to the utility space.
Process
- Initial Consultation: We started with a consultation to understand the client’s requirements and vision. The goal was to design a hidden door that doubled as a functional cabinet, blending seamlessly with the existing wall.
- Design and Planning: Our design team created a detailed plan for the hidden fold-out door cabinet. We provided 3D renderings to help the client visualize the final product and made adjustments based on their feedback.
- Site Preparation: We prepared the wall by marking the location for the door and ensuring the area was clear of any obstacles. We also checked the wall’s structural integrity to support the cabinet.
- Material Selection: High-quality materials were selected for durability and aesthetics. We chose wood that matched the existing wall finish and hardware that allowed smooth operation of the fold-out mechanism.
- Construction:
- Frame and Door Construction: We built the frame for the cabinet and the hidden door, ensuring precise measurements for a perfect fit. The fold-out mechanism was carefully installed to allow easy access and durability.
- Integration with Wall: The cabinet was integrated into the wall, with meticulous attention to detail to ensure it blended seamlessly. The door was designed to match the wall’s texture and color, making it nearly invisible when closed.
- Installation: The fold-out door cabinet was installed in the designated wall area. We ensured the mechanism operated smoothly and that the door was securely attached.
- Finishing Touches: Final adjustments were made to ensure a seamless appearance. The surface was painted and finished to match the surrounding wall, making the door blend in perfectly.
- Client Demonstration: We demonstrated the operation of the hidden fold-out door to the client, showing how to open and close it smoothly. The client was impressed with the functionality and the discreet design.
