PODCAST #473 - CREATIVE HOME ENGINEERING

September 6, 2025 Jose Acevedo

From secret libraries to speakeasy-style lounges, hidden doors and secret rooms are no longer reserved for spy movies — they’re one of today’s most exciting trends in home design. In this episode, we sit down with Steve Humble, Founder of Creative Home Engineering, to talk about how he’s making homeowners’ hidden door dreams come true. Steve shares his journey from working with aerospace giants Honeywell and Boeing to taking a leap at just 26 to launch his own company. Today, his team has built more than 5,000 custom hidden doors and passageways, shipping nationwide from their Gilbert, AZ facility. We explore the growing demand for hidden rooms in upscale and tech-forward homes, how Creative Home Engineering blends cutting-edge engineering with interior design, and why their affordable sister brand, Hidden Door Store, is opening the door (literally!) for even more homeowners to add these unique features.
