“Jim Jarmusch once told me Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two. If it’s fast and cheap it won’t be good.

If it’s cheap and good, it won’t be fast. If it’s fast and good, it won’t be cheap.

Fast, cheap and good …pick two words to live by. Tom Waits.

Turning an obstacle into an opportunity: This stunning bookshelf cleverly integrates a pillar into its design. One side houses a dedicated space for a bulky printer, hidden from view. On the other side, a secret cavity, accessed by a swinging top shelf, securely stores important documents and folders. This innovative solution combines functionality and aesthetics, adding both style and storage to your study.

Murphy Doors

 

While Murphy door hinges offer a clever solution for hidden spaces, they aren't always the perfect fit. Here's why we don't use them in certain situations:

 

1. Construction Compatibility: Traditional Murphy door hinges require specific construction elements like wooden frames and perfectly square openings. Unfortunately, not all homes, including those with modern construction methods or non-standard dimensions, can accommodate these requirements.

 

2. Uncompromising Visibility: While we pride ourselves on creating discreet hidden doors, Murphy hinges often leave subtle markings or shadows on walls or ceilings, hindering the illusion of seamless integration.

 

3. Superior Alternatives: Our expertise lies in meticulous planning and innovative design. We achieve exceptional concealment through carefully crafted solutions that blend seamlessly with existing spaces, eliminating the need for hinges that might compromise the desired aesthetic.

 

Rest assured, even without Murphy hinges, our hidden doors remain masterpieces of discretion and functionality. We're confident we can create a solution that surpasses your expectations and elevates your space.
