Your Very Own Hidden Passageway

Posted by John Goulden Categories: Design, Smart Home

Hidden passageways are the sort of things kids dream of.  The ability to sneak from one room to another, a place to hide from your pesky brother/sister, or a cool thing about your house your friends don’t have.  Creative Home Engineering creates and installs hidden passageways, and has also designed a DIY kit for those willing to tackle the project on their own. 

Imagine every type of hidden passage you’ve seen in the movies, or read about in a book, and the folks at Creative Home Engineering can make it a reality.  Revolving fireplace?  Check.  Stairs that lift to reveal a hidden entrance?  You betcha.  A candlestick on the mantle as the triggering switch?  Piece of cake.  In fact, from looking at the movies and animations on their site, you’ll get a glimpse of how varied hidden passages can be.  Fulfilling one’s childhood fantasies isn’t the only reason for a hidden passageway.  Security plays a major role as thieves can’t steal what they can’t find.  Technology also has it’s place with biometrics, optical scanners, and voice recognition as optional items.

Prices can range upwards of $10,000 USD, and the DIY kits start at $1,500 USD.
