I built a mock-up of this design last night, and it was very tight.
But it worked quite well.

An interesting idea as well...
I just thought of a variation on that idea which may prove even more
useful, since doors rarely hinge from the ceiling: rotate your design
by 90 degrees. Using "1x1 headlight bricks" or somesuch, you can
attach the tilt bearing hinges to the wall rather than the ceiling, so
that it swings like a normal door. I may experiment with that to see
how that works. The 1x4 hinges take up too much room, but the 1x2
tilt bearing hinges are very compact, especially when rotated on their
sides.
