Fitting seamless worktops around old oak beam? This Kent manor house was proving a tricky problem for the kitchen designers at Martin Moore Esher. What do you do when you have an old kitchen with awkwardly placed oak supports? The solution – choose your worktop material carefully. This kitchen for Martin Moore Kitchens Escher had only one solution to the problem, use a material that can be seamlessly joined.  Without the need for unsightly joins, this listed buildings problem was cleverly overcome by making the beam a feature of the design, rather than the problem with it. Corian was used, with seamless joins and a protective coved upstand around the base to produce a beautiful integral worktop without compromising the building or the kitchen space.
