I have a wall that I call the junk wall. Incoming service, old telephone jack, some antenna stuff, and a lot of other crap. Ideally, I would like to enclose the whole mess and move the ventilation grille, electricity, and network to the new wall in front. But then you can't access what's behind there, which both I and Elevio sometimes need to.

My question is... Does anyone have a smart idea for an openable wall? An inspection hatch just isn't enough, and 10 would be too ugly.

Wall with various utility boxes, wiring, and a rack with electronic equipment in a room corner. Vent pipes and network cables are visible.

Build throughout the entire space and make it a combined storage closet/wardrobe etc etc.

Creative wiring too :D

Yes, it's completely crazy. I'm completely innocent of this. The thing is, I want, as much as possible, to get a smooth wall where I can also hang things.

Isn't it a corner? Extend the existing wall and put a door on the short side, where the electrical outlet etc. is today. Then you get a smooth wall as large as the "junk wall" is today, you gain some storage space but lose a bit of floor area.
 
Hope you understand the kludd

Buy Ikea wardrobes that you place there.
Remove the back wall so you can access it if you want.

Yes, it's a corner there. But it's a long wall and I need as much space as possible. That is, from the right in the picture all the way to the meter panel, I just thought to smack on OBS and Gypsum 5-10 cm from the existing wall. Where the meter panel then appears, I need to get the wall in even more, about 25 cm. Also, that part must be able to open.
All the way to the left in the picture, in the corner, there's that 90s solution of sound in all rooms. I thought I would also try to build that in somehow... But I think it can be pulled out if I need to get behind there.
 
Can't you put sliding doors in front, then you can place them as close to the installations as possible, you can still access to tinker there when they are open. Something like this:
Sliding doors on a closet with visible compartments for clothes, boxes, and shoes; adjacent living area with a sofa partially visible.

Yeah maybe... The problem then would be if I want to move power and network outlets forward perhaps.

That's what it was before... The remnants are in the ceiling. Thought of hanging stuff in front unfortunately so it becomes difficult.

It is possible to customize sliding doors, so if you plan really carefully, you might be able to combine a fixed wall with sliding doors. For example, a wall for the bottom half-meter and sliding doors from there upwards, or whatever fits best.

An elfa shelving system then, screw up a track in the ceiling or maybe on a plywood board that you attach in a suitable way?
(I am no carpenter can't help with the details :))
 
On the new wall in front, there will be 3 broadband absorbers hanging as shown in the image below. If it had been a regular hinged door/openable wall, I just imagined that it might be easier to open with this still hanging on the outside.

Sorry I didn't provide all the info before. But I received so many creative suggestions that I didn't expect. :)

If you start with sliding doors from the corner past the electrical cabinet and from there have a real wall. Do you then have enough space for soundproofing? They can certainly also be hung on the front sliding door, the question is just whether it can be done nicely.
