Ever since time immemorial, many people have fostered a love of secret rooms and passageways. It is not uncommon to hear adults fantasizing of walls that open after pressing a specific piano key or after pulling a mysteriously large book. Popular media encourage these visions, too; from Indiana Jones to the Addams Family, many films and literature feature a secret room that is usually a space for something precious, like gold, jewellery, or the protagonist’s costume and weapons, or even just a space to hide away from the world.
But this is usually where the dreams and fantasies stop. Most people consider these visions as something only the eccentric would do. The truth of the matter is, there are a lot of modern applications for secret rooms. As with the early Egyptians who built these spaces to hide their secrets and prevent robbers from stealing any of their goods, today’s secret rooms serve a similar function. They can be the homeowner’s private and personal space, or an ideal area where precious materials can be placed.

This does not necessarily mean that secret rooms are only for the rich. These can also be installed in ordinary homes as libraries or gaming rooms, or any space where the homeowner can be himself or herself without any fear of judgement. The beauty of these rooms is as implied: They are secret.
The early Egyptians used to kill the slaves who worked on these passageways so that the secret would die with them. Today, however, this is hardly necessary as architects and custom home builders are obligated by law never to divulge these types of information. Additionally, with the growth of technology and enhancement of design options, many secret rooms can be designed and customized to the homeowner’s specific needs and objectives.
