Default Kitchen design: Can Dishwasher go next to stove?

I'm doing a layout of a new kitchen in a condo. One idea I had was to
put the dishwasher next to the stove, but then I was wondering, when
we put the granite countertop, where would the countertop rest on
where the DW and stove meet? Seems I would have to put in some kind of
support or filler in between to support it.
Has anyone ever done it like this, or should a base cabinet be put
between the stove and dishwasher?


I agree with James. You need a support but it does not need to be a killer
one. A 3/4" end panel with a 3" filler strip on the front and back to form
a vertical truss will do the job. The countertop should be supported all
along the wall with a ledger board.
