worksurface
Kitchen counter space
A worksurface is a flat area designed for performing tasks—a desk, countertop, or table where work gets done.
The term appears most often in descriptions of kitchens and offices: The granite worksurface was easy to clean.
British English favors worksurface; Americans typically say countertop or work surface as two words.
