That's not a little problem if you want to keep the project simple. I would build a box that goes around the pipes but it could add a few hours complication to the build. The advantage of the method I've outlined is the simple square shape of the front of the box that you end up with.
I've made many cupboards in available spaces that take twice as long because you have to compensate for the walls when scribing shelves and doors need to be slightly odd shapes to compensate for walls too. There are just too many different ways to achieve the end result to be honest. The one that I've outlined is the simplest to describe and achieve because you don't even cut the materials yourself.
Bear in mind you can make a freestanding cupboard roughly the same way. It would be a bit basic though.
Cheers, I fear my walls will be all over the ship. Boxing in the pipes sounds like a good option though. Really appreciate the thorough responses, can't wait to get crackin....
