Secret Rooms Gain Popularity

shhhhThe New York Times is running a story about the growing popularity of installing a
secret room into houses
. I’ve always wanted a secret hideaway room that has the bat computer and a map printed on the floor.

““Most people don’t even recognize that it’s there,” said her father, Eric Beghou, who owns a consulting company with his wife, Beth. “When the home inspector came by to examine the house, our builder shut the bookcase, hiding the room. The inspector went up and down the stairs a couple times — he knew that something was unusual — but he couldn’t figure out what was there.”

Soon, however, inspectors and other guests may get wise to hidden rooms like the Beghous’. Although hard data is not available, architects report an increase over the last five years in the number of clients installing concealed rooms.”
