Throughout history, people have secretly stored their most prized possessions in boxes, rooms, and passageways. From ancient Egyptian pyramids to medieval castles, we’ve been able to get close to some of the most mysterious places in the world.

Two online communities are exciting: r/SecretCompartments and r/HiddenRooms. These communities feature hidden rooms and spaces that are not always apparent.

To help you find the best-hidden places, A&D has collected some of the most inspirational posts from our various social media groups.

These communities are full of people who enjoy sharing their home secrets. The members of r/HiddenRooms are known to discuss and post pictures of their favorite secret rooms and thoughts on other cool secret spaces.

Over 72.9K members have shared their secrets, which shows how they can access their favorite rooms through an invisible door.

While r/HiddenRooms is focused on hiding all of your rooms in plain sight, the members of this community also keep in mind that there are hidden parts in your home. In 2016, the r/SecretCompartments community was created to allow members to keep their precious items and memories safe from potential visitors.

People are fascinated by the idea of creating hidden spaces, such as secret compartments, commonly used to hide their possessions. We caught up with Jill Herro, the owner of Secret Compartments Furniture, who specializes in creating unique furniture that’s both functional and beautiful.

The idea for Herro’s business came from her desire to have a nice piece of furniture that could store her valuables. She was able to talk about the various types of secret compartments people commonly use, but when she started looking, she found all of them to be hard to find.

After being laid off from her pharmaceutical sales job, she decided that she wanted to try something different. She lived near an Amish community with over 450 furniture makers and was eager to try something new. She started looking for furniture and found that many people were doing the same thing.

According to the designer, people tend to hide their valuables in their furniture to make it look fun and turn everyone into preteens. However, more seriously, she said it’s also a good idea to hide your items in plain view so that burglars can quickly identify them.

Imagine the confusion you’ll feel when you realize that your expensive jewelry or money is nowhere to be found. The thieves will most likely walk right past it.

Every time I do a show, I hear about someone being robbed, and they say that they didn’t care about the jewelry box, but they got a Tiffany necklace from the 1930s, which cannot be replaced. These stories break my heart. I would recommend that people put their costume jewelry in a jewelry box and then put the good stuff in their coat rack.

People are fascinated by the surprising and creative solutions that people come up with. According to Jill Herro, she enjoys watching people try new things because it shows the hard work and time that goes into developing these types of solutions. Herro also noted that her designs are usually entirely standard.

Getting the business up and running was the most challenging part of her job. While her clients loved her work, she had no word-of-mouth referrals as most of them refused to tell their friends about the fantastic features of her furniture. She also said that some of her customers would purchase her products as gifts for their wives but would not tell them about the hidden compartments.

  • Project : Emulating the natural, cultural and historical importance of #Malinalco, #Mexico, home to one of the world’s three monolithic pyramids, the Mague House integrates the sanctity of the natural terrain into its architecture.

Mexican studio @mcxa.group [IG] designed the home’s volumes to carefully avoid any disturbance to the trees and flora of the sloping plot, resulting in an architectural space that meanders its way through outdoor spaces and abundant foliage.

Local materials such as wood, stone and the Mayan version of stucco, chukum, form a dwelling that is decidedly contemporary yet well within a pre-Hispanic cultural context. Slatted wood walls and large portions of glass take turns in forming a façade that simultaneously welcomes natural light into the space while offering its inhabitants their privacy. 

The different rooms are distributed along both sides of a cemented footpath that cuts across Mague House’s rectangular floor plan. Certain rooms were designed to be multifunctional and flexible, easily shifting from an area of rest to work.
A number of exterior terraces and patios dot the property, culminating in the main outdoor area which hosts a swimming pool, a monolithic stone bonfire pit, and a wooden pyramid-inspired structure.

  • House in minimalist Wabi-Sabi style by @selami.arq [IG]

In traditional Japanese aesthetics, wabi-sabi is a world view centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of appreciating beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete" in nature.

Characteristics of wabi-sabi aesthetics and principles include asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature.

"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

"Wabi-sabi nurtures all that is authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Based on this philosophy, I wanted to design a house in the style of wabi sabi, which is widely used in architecture. What are your thoughts?
