update of my dreaming wardrobe ,
as i had 1 meter depth , and i wont be able to use this depth for the drying and driver stage/part ( the right side of the wardrobe) i though about leave this free space for the ventilation duct managing ( the ventilation stage/area is the bloc for the top)
i let you some pics and the .skp to show you that , my english is so bad, really hard to explain that.

Cant offer much advice but thought I would respond since I don't want you feeling like nobody is taking any notice..:bigjoint:

I don't think we have many people with experience with the design file your using, or any other design file.. We are all stoners!!

As far as the doors been light proof, A normal cupboard door which opens like any kitchen unit would work well. But you want 1x1inch length of wood on the inside of the cupboard all the way around, that should block light if everything fits tightly. Creates an overlap if you understand.

You also need to consider all air that goes out(extraction) has to be replaced and needs to be fairly free to flow so it does not impede the fan.
You could do that by having holes or vents in the bottom floor section, I see you have a base on there so perhaps you could design the base so it allows air in but does not allow light out, I imagine you don't want your cupboard to glow. ;)

Will look forward to seeing the design come into reality.

I guess it depends on weight of the door and the material its made from.
I like the standard kitchen cupboard hinge but they are used with flat pack style furniture and that already has the holes pre bored and that may be difficult to do without the full array of tools a manufacturer has to hand.

These though offer the same function without (I think) having to be sunk into the door or frame.
