Have you tried a google image search for alcove cupboards?
If you make a frame for inset doors you can use traditional hinges, otherwise modern cabinet hinges (kitchen cupboard type) will work with a pretty small gap to the wall. You can get overlay hinges.
On the styling side it seems to come down to victorian or modern, I would avoid floating if you want cupboards , plinth at skirting height suits modern or traditional and has a practical advantage of allowing you to level the base of the cupboard.
There are quick ways to make this kind of thing but making doors is the tricky bit if you want anything at all fancy.

Look in charity furniture shops for a cheap rectangular dining table for the top. Ply with teak face and edgings are normally dirt cheap as long as it’s square faced nobody’s going to want it. (A curved nice mid century one on the other hand £££) Hell if you can find a big one you could make the whole carcass out of it and add some sliding doors in a lighter ply to finish it off.
