The "cloffice" (closet office) is the ultimate architectural response to cramped studio living. By removing closet doors and mounting a custom butcher-block shelf, you create a private cocoon dedicated to tranquil gaming.

1. Removing Doors & Measuring Alcove Studs

Replace bifold doors with soft linen acoustic curtains to soften room sound. Anchor heavy-duty steel shelf brackets directly into wall studs to support 60kg desktop loads.

2. Electrical Outlet Extension & Ventilation

Route a single 15A surge protector cord along baseboard channels into the closet. Install a whisper-quiet USB exhaust fan above the doorframe to prevent heat accumulation.
