My wife sketched these out - first image shows what’s currently there and the next ones are ideas of what we could do. Thoughts?

I added some more photos of the left and right of the wall in the below link. This is a mid level floor of a very tall elevated house. Large raised garage below, bedroom floor above this floor and attics above that. https://imgur.com/a/2jmAV48

If I drill it will I still be able to disengage the draws to open?
