Homeowners are adding concealed doors and rooms to foil burglars, eke out extra storage space and prepare for Armageddon
Tabitha Kane is a co-host of a true crime podcast, so it might not come as a complete surprise to learn that when she and her husband were planning a new house for their family in Dallas, she cooked up the idea of adding a secret room. At first, the couple thought they’d get their contractor to make the door to it look like a wall cabinet. But then they found an Arizona firm named Creative Home Engineering that rigged up a faux fireplace for Kane’s home office.
On a recent morning Tonkovich gently pushed back one of the bookcases, then slid in front of it an adjacent bookcase that smoothly rolled across on a brass rail, revealing a previously concealed opening for books that, she noted, “maybe a gentleman wouldn’t want everyone to see.” Recently, some companies have been creating speakeasy-style rooms harking back to Prohibition days to add interest to workplaces.
