Default hinge to open close minimal-clearance door

I want to put a door in a bath panel leading to a cupboard under the
bath. I want the door clearances to be the same as the grout lines,
i.e. 2 to 3 mm, and to have no visible hinge when shut (like a kitchen
cabinet door) The door will be around 20mm thick (board plus tiles).
Thus a normal hinge would foul the edges at some point however it was
set. I need a mechanism that will bring the door directly outwards
(like a drawer) before turning like a hinge. A drawer is not really
suitable due to the irregular space under the bath. And a removable
access panel is too fiddly to use for a regularly opened cupboard.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Simon.
