Shallow depth kitchen... is it feasible?
The short answer is yes, but you might have to make some concessions.
A standard 4 burner hob might no longer fit in the worktop but a 2 or 3 burner hob might. Same for a standard oven but a boat/caravan oven might be an option. Obviously the Sunday roast becomes a bit more of a juggle with limited oven space.
Airhead's suggestion of a smaller door (or even a bi-fold) might be the simplest when you factor in the amount of time you'll spend looking for appliances that you a) like the look of, and b) will fit in the smaller space, and the time/money spent modifying or building shallower units etc.

B&q own brand stuff (pricy and really naff imo, ikea is twice as good for slightly less money) is 58cm depth iirc, worktop is 60cm from them. Ikea is 600 + door + overhang so they use 635 worktop on method kitchen range

hob: buy domino units and just have 2 burners but turn 90 degrees...?

Shallow depth kitchen... is it feasible?
The wall where I want to run my kitchen units will only allow me 58cm of depth max before fouling the back door. Standard kitchen units are 60cm, and with the doors and the overhang of the worktop you're looking at round 65cm total, even if i don't allow for any space at the back for services.
So I'm 7cm out.
The problems I can think of so far include:
Has anyone done anything similar before ? Should I sack off the idea? The other wall where I could put the units is shorter, but maybe it's less hassle that way...
