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?


No countertop, granite or otherwise, rests atop the dishwasher.

The countertop must be self supporting - the dishwasher fits in a cavity
(else how would you ever replace the dishwasher). Therefore you have to
construct some sort of supporting mechanism for the countertop irrespective
of what goes below the counter.


You need a 3/4 inch piece of plywood for an end panel, with some sort
of finishing strip vertically along the front edgo for appearances. I
can't think why you would need a 3" wide front pice except for
appearance, the 3/4" plywood should be able to support the granite
with no problems
