I am developing plans for a desk and hutch. I am considering a "roll top" to conceal a space in the hutch. Can roll tops be purchased to fit various spaces?

Yes. A quick Google for "tambour doors" yielded many sources, such as Cabinet Parts for wood or Rollok for metal, but they aren't that hard to make consisting of multiple strips of wood with a glued and stapled canvas backing. If the door is large, a commercial model would have the advantage of offering a nice spiral takeup track for the door, and possibly torsion spring assist similar to garage door openers.
