Hutker Architects built this cool feature into a house renovation project they did on Martha’s Vineyard. A large walk-in pantry is hidden behind a door which is made to look like built in cabinets. The illusion is perfect and one is surprised when discovering the secret entry. The door has special hinges, allowing it to swing both ways. A great idea, well executed!
