ᐅ Sliding door completely disappears into the wall – how is that possible?

I noticed in the Viebrockhaus 425 (virtual tour on the website) that the sliding door between the living room and hallway completely disappears into the wall. How is that possible, and how do you get the door back out of the wall?
I mean, normally at least the handle should still be visible, so the door is only pushed about 90% to the side. But here, it is fully recessed.
We would also like to do it this way— is there a special trick or system involved?

And the argument about durability: Is it soundproofed in both directions at your parents’ place? Because over the years, it will give out.
Without it, I wouldn’t worry either...

You just have to like that True, I do have a drywall partition – in my case, it’s an upgraded wall in the storage room. It really doesn’t bother me there. Personally, I’m rather skeptical about drywall partitions as real dividing walls.

Our current sliding door is definitely damped on both sides with spring-mounted rubber buffers, which can be easily accessed through the service panels.

Hi,
No, that's not true. Ours is installed in a built-in frame, and the entire track is simply hooked in and then secured with a few screws. So you can completely remove it and repair whatever needs fixing.
Best regards,

Keep in mind with interior sliding doors that you can't access the mechanism if something breaks...

But as I said, in the end, the money would have been wasted.

Better not remind me about the money involved...
This unit wasn’t cheap, and together with the wide lintel and the actual door, this single sliding door will probably cost us somewhere between 1500 and 2000 bucks...
Looking back now, we’d probably find a double swing door in a really bright color somehow cooler. But now it is what it is.
Best regards,
Andreas
