You could build it freestanding with legs so no holes have to be drilled in the walls. Being claustrophobic, I have concerns with egress if doors or windows are blocked. Some places may even have laws against this or it may violate an insurance policy rule, but nobody would know unless you have to have your house inspected for some reason. Personally, I don't feel comfortable having to lift anything out or duck under anything in the event of an emergency. And, i don't want to make it more difficult for someone to get to me if I somehow get trapped. My layout room is a spare bedroom with one entrance plus a window. Suppose I completely blocked the window by the layout, and then I had a hosue fire while I was in the layout room. I would have to remove a section of layout and backdrop before I could exit through the window.
An excellent suggestion.
