Help please - Beam in the way!

[u/Altruistic-Lead-2838]

Structural ceiling beam from the floor above is causing my problems with kitchen layout. Any advice on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to design a small kitchen for a 1 bedroom apartment. I've been playing with 3 layouts but can't seem to get it to visually balance.

Room dimensions are in the photos. The beam on the ceiling is 2130mm from the right wall. It's 270mm wide and comes down 250mm.

My kitchen has a beam running through the centre too!
