Elder son called yesterday and posed a ?? -- I have a couple of ideas
but they're I think excessively complicated so throw this out for
Karl, whoever...

Upper kitchen cabinets in his house were built in place w/ one wall a
set of straight-line cabinets and the 90-degree wall then butted
against the face of these. The first cabinet is then open to the end
wall while the second is closed at the face of the first. This, of
course, creates a sizable area in the corner that is very difficult to
use.

Son's idea/request was for a mechanism that if cut out the bottom of
the hidden area could drop a set of shelves down for access then lift
it back up -- his request was for suitable hardware design to latch
and more importantly, allow the movement w/ support so would be
more-or-less balanced w/ varying weight.

Swingman/nailshooter; you'se guys ever seen anything for same? I've
not been in the kitchen recently enough that have paid sufficient
attention to the details to know for certain about construction but my
initial thought was to simply open up the end panel of the other
cabinet--at least gives access from both directions that way...

Anyway, the deep square corner is routine issue; any other newer/novel
solutions to help anybody has? (In my day I used to put in a 45 short
section between and cut off the backs w/ false back so while lost some
absolute footage in general it wasn't useful anyway but could reach
the are that did...)

We have a top corner cabinet that was installed when we redid the
kitchen some 12 years ago. It is a doubly-hinged door, and it has held
up very well. The only caveat is that people have to be instructed to
close it in sequence - first the part that hinges against the cabinet
itself, then the part that hinges to that, so you don't scrape the
adjacent cabinet (left in the pictures that I will put up on abpw, and
that are already up on G+ - how the hell to share here?).
