Basement Finishing Designs

How do I build a cabinet to cover the water meter in my basement?

I am finishing my basement and the water meter sticks out from the wall about 12″ and is about 18″ wide. I have the wall all framed out but need help designing a cabinet to cover the water meter, and still allows access to the meter for reading it and turning the water off and on. Thanks

bump the wall out around the meter and use a picture as a door make it uniform so it doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb
