Hidden rooms tickle the kid in us

Perhaps it's because I harbour ambitions to be the next Bond villain or maybe it's because I want to escape the world sometimes and plan my next gadget shopping spree, but these hidden doors are insanely cool.  Imagine clicking a remote control and introducing your latest date to your secret dungeon playroom!

 

For between $5,000 and $25k you can have a custom-designed hidden room from Creative Home Engineering, a company specialising in mechanised doors that can either hide a safe or safe-room or – far more interesting – a room you don't want anyone else to know about.

They're the subject of a great article in the New York Times.
