Secret rooms, speakeasies & safe rooms

Yes. Bachman Custom Homes designs and builds hardened rooms and other fortified spaces into new custom homes. We plan the room during floor plan design so the framing, wiring and finishes are built around it. If you need a room built to a specific rating, tell us early so the design can include it.

Yes. Hidden rooms are a favorite of ours. We have built speakeasies entered through concealed rooms, plans drawn with a dedicated secret room and hidden storage closets in an entry. A Murphy door or bookcase door is built into the millwork so it reads as part of the wall. We design each one around your home's layout.

Yes. Integrated gun safes are one of the concealed features we build. We decide the location and size during design, so the framing, floor and finishes are planned around the safe instead of fitting it in afterward. Bring the safe you have or plan to buy to the design meeting.

Not automatically. A room is only rated if it is designed and built with products that meet a specific standard, and we do not certify rooms ourselves. If a rated room matters to you, tell us at the first meeting so the right engineer and products are part of the design from the start.

Usually, yes. Specialty spaces are settled in step four of our process, when we finalize the floor plan, so a secret room, speakeasy, hardened room or gun safe can be worked into most of our plans. Tell us early, so the framing, wiring and finishes are planned around it.
