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:

• not enough space in worktop for hob
  
• not enough space for built in oven (though most i look at seem to be 55-57cm.)
  
• having to cut down all the cabinets (I don't mind doing this but drawers could be an issue)
  
  

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...
